Poison Garden is a collaboration between artist Barbora Kováčová and illustrator Martu Hlavajová for the realization of this enchanting project in the form of a book about six deadly poisonous plants and their taxonomy, history, folk & poison tales.

The scientific knowledge from the fields of botany, toxicology, and chemistry is paired with semiotic and mythological references and they are presented through delicate illustrations that bring the book to life.
