Botanical Garden Concerns

I took a visit to the botanical gardens recently and saw a couple things of concern. One of the exhibits had a large alligator gar confined to an extremely small shallow pool with barely any room to turn around let alone swim. Very sad coming from a place built to celebrate nature… The other thing was the couple Angel’s Trumpet plants which while beautiful, I learned are extremely poisonous. They are just sitting out in an open public place (right next to a food stand) with zero signage whatsoever. Would hate to have someone, especially a child handle them an and get sick (probably a terrible trip!).
