* The Alnwick Garden in the UK has a special section that consists entirely of poisonous plants, some of which are common garden plants. They even have a special licence to have coca and marijuana plants on display. Website [[http://www.alnwickgarden.com/thegarden/the-poison-garden here]]. The gate leading to the Poison Gardens carries a simple message in large letters "'''These Plants can Kill'''". And boy do they mean it.

* The finale of vanilla ''Videogame/{{Destiny}}'' takes place in the Black Garden, the home dimension of [[MechanicalAbomination the Vex]]. The Black Garden itself is removed from normal time-space thanks to their technology and consists of endless stretches of the Vex's hyper-complex machinery that has been overgrown with vines, grasses, and red flowers. And at the heart of it is [[EldritchAbomination the Black Heart]], a fragment of [[GreaterScopeVillain The Darkness]] that the Vex could not comprehend and decided to worship as a god.

It was subsequentially taken over by [[MechanicalAbomination the Vex]]. The Being in the Black Garden itself will cause everything to grow at abnormal rates, be that fingernails, hair, or the many many plants that inhabit the place, it is removed from normal time-space thanks to their technology and consists of is said that there time flows backwards, it now has been taken over by endless stretches of the Vex's hyper-complex machinery that has been overgrown with vines, grasses, and red flowers. And at the heart of it is [[EldritchAbomination the Black Heart]], a fragment of [[GreaterScopeVillain The Darkness]] that a the Vex could not comprehend comprehend, which let to a now considered heretical subsect of their ranks, know as the Sol Divisive and decided to worship as a god.god.

* ''TabletopGame/{{Deadlands}}: Lost Colony'': On the planet Banshee in the Faraway System, fully one-quarter of the largest landmass is filled with a GardenOfEvil aptly named the "Toxic Jungle." Virtually everything there is poisonous to creatures not native to the biome, and it's even home to the odd "Rex". ''Hell on Earth'' didn't get off easy, either: back on Earth, most of the infamously-damp coastal areas in Washington State have become a [[JustForPun home-grown]] GardenOfEvil, complete with the requisite {{Man Eating Plant}}s.

* There were two in ''Film/{{Jumanji}}''. One had a prehensile tongue-like vine that could pull people towards its mouth where it presumably planned to eat them. The vine had enough strength to fold a police car. The second variant were purple flowers that shot out poisonous barbs.

* Most of ''Film/{{Labyrinth}}'' is set in one of these, albeit a PG-rated one where the traps and flora incapacitate you (or make you smell really, ''really'' bad) rather than kill.
** Except "the Cleaners."

Scale can vary greatly. A common type of DeathWorld [[SingleBiomePlanet consists entirely of this]]. In instances where the garden grows, expect TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt. See TheHedgeOfThorns, WhenTreesAttack and LostInTheMaize. PlantMooks, AlienKudzu, a ManEatingPlant and MeatMoss can often be found growing here. No relation to [[Franchise/{{Nasuverse}} the Garden of Sinners]]. Contrast LastFertileRegion, GardenOfLove, and GardenOfEden (usuallly).

(usuallly). And for a more metaphorical interpretation, see WeedingOutImperfections, where "desirable" and "undesirable" people are compared to flowers and weeds.
