* ''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 [[EverythingsBetterWithDinosaurs "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.
* ''TabletopGame/{{Exalted}}'':
** Each cardinal direction is ruled by a certain element. To the east is the elemental pole of wood, and the farther from the center of the world you get, the more powerful the elemental pole's effect is. Go too far, and plants basically take over reality and do whatever they want.
** There are also Gethamane's fungus gardens -- the gardens themselves are fine, and actually vital to the function of the city, but the magic that fuels them got messed up at some point. People who spend too much time there (like, say, the farmers who work in them) slowly become convinced they require {{human sacrifice}}s to keep working. They don't, but there's a lot of [[TheCoronerDothProtestTooMuch accidental deaths on the job that somehow wind up with the victim naked, castrated, and with veins sliced very precisely so the blood will drain out easily]] anyway.
* ''Literature/{{Pathfinder}}'': Overexposures of positive energy, the source of life and growth, can easily turn even barren countryside into thick, tangled jungles of over-fecund growth. The ''Tyrant's Grasp'' adventure path sees the creation of a lot of these when the Whispering Tyrant devises a weapon that obliterates targets in explosions of positive energy, seeding Lastwall with thickets of tangled vegetable growth, carnivorous plants and hideously mutated animals. The worst of these spots is the one created when he blasted his way free of his prison -- named Gallowgarden, the resulting jungle of slimy, writhing vines, tumorous plants, moaning trees and misshapen beasts stands in stark contrast to the barren and undead-haunted landscape of the rest of the lich's realm, but is no less deadly to visit.
* ''TabletopGame/RocketAge'': The entirety of [[HungryJungle Venus]] in is terrifying. If the wildlife doesn't get you, the plant life will. If the plant life doesn't get you, the diseases will. If the diseases don't get you, the terrain and weather will probably do you in.
* ''TabletopGame/VampireTheMasquerade'':
** Some members of the [[TheGrotesque Nosferatu]] [[LooksLikeOrlok clan]] have taken up gardening fungus. Though these aren't ''necessarily'' lethal, security-conscious Nosferatu can make them so; these mushrooms gardens can be acidic, poisonous, [[MagicMushroom hallucinogenic]], [[FungusHumongous the size of trees]], and often swarming with any number of the ghouled creatures the Nosferatu like to keep in [[BeneathTheEarth the warrens.]] Occasionally, some of the fungus are actually ''mobile'' as well...
** The Lasombra warlord Caridad de Flores has one of her own in ''Mexico by Night,'' easily recognized by the weird silver-and-black flowers sprouting from the corpses of Caridad's victims. This garden is also a drug crop producing an exotic variety of highly addictive plantlife, and many of the garden's inhabitants (living or dead) are actually addicts who turned up for a fix one night and never left.

* In Creator/DanAbnett's Literature/GauntsGhosts novel ''Traitor General'', the Untill. (Short for "untillable.") Canopy so thick that night and day are the same, filled with giant insects, including poisonous moths so lethal that just brushing against them can mean horrible, painful death. Despite the hideous danger, it ''is'' still survivable: the [[HiddenElfVillage Nihtgane]] have set up a stable and functioning civilization there, having developed an immunity to the local toxins.
* The forest in ''Gathering Blue'' and ''Messenger'', the sequels to ''Literature/TheGiver'', is sentient and selective of the people it wants passing through. Don't push your luck.
* In Creator/ThomasMDisch's ''The Genocides'', aliens gradually transform Earth so that their uncanny, tree-like Plants [[SingleBiomePlanet cover the entire land surface]]. [[KillAllHumans Doing away with the human race]] makes this project easier to complete.
* The Vineyard Of Eyes in ''[[Literature/TheUnderlandChronicles Gregor and The Curse of the Warmbloods]]''.
* In Creator/GrahamMcNeill's TabletopGame/{{Warhammer 40000}} Literature/HorusHeresy novel ''False Gods'', on Davin's moon, the battlefield having been [[WeatherDissonance transformed from a hot, dry forest to foggy marsh]], it also contains hordes of [[ZombieApocalypse walking corpses]].
** But it does get better after the death of the LoadBearingBoss.
* One of the previous Games locals mentioned in ''Literature/TheHungerGames'' was a veritable Garden of Eden so beautiful most of the Tributes were too surprised to move when the Games started. However, it proved to be one of these soon enough -- everything, from the water to the trees to the scent of the flowers, was poisonous.
* Octave Mirbeau's [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Torture_Garden_(novel) ''Le Jardin des supplices'']] (The Torture Garden) might be a possible candidate for UrExample here, as it was first published in 1899.
* In ''Literature/LifeOfPi'', Pi lands on an "island" floating in the Pacific, consisting of algae and trees in symbiosis... [[spoiler:which turns out to be carnivorous]]. The scene where he peels away layers of leaves from what he thinks is a fruit, and finds [[spoiler:a human tooth in the middle]], is horrific.
* The home of the sea witch of ''Literature/TheLittleMermaid'' is surrounded by hostile seaweed. When the protagonist swims through the first time, she spots the corpse of another mermaid that was captured by the plants and killed.
* In Creator/JRRTolkien's ''Literature/LordOfTheRings'' (book and film), the Morgul Vale and the Dead Marshes are exactly such a place, with poisonous flowers, glowing undead pools, etc.
** It's not a cultivated garden, but ''Literature/TheSilmarillion'' has Nan Dungortheb (the [[IDontLikeTheSoundOfThatPlace Valley of Dreadful Death]]), which is the reason a HiddenElfVillage like Doriath needed powerful warriors.
* In Teresa Frohock's ''Literature/MiserereAnAutumnTale'', the Rosa is this -- without the evil. [[GoodIsNotNice It's in fact a good force capable of destroying the evil and sparing the good.]] Still scares the good guys; Lucian forbids Lindsey to touch [[AndIMustScream the human-faced flowers]].
* Probably quite a few gardens in ''{{Literature/Nightside}}''. Best known - runaway garden/[[HungryJungle jungle]] in front of Griphon estate. Also some of the places on the other sides of timeslips.
* "Literature/RappaccinisDaughter" features an early poisonous garden created by a mad scientist -- and his daughter is the only one who can survive to walk in it, because she's been engineered to be just as poisonous as all of the plants.
* One of the effects of the Sunbane in ''[[Literature/TheChroniclesOfThomasCovenant The Second Chronicles of Thomas Covenant]]'' is to turn a country into this, every few days. (With the intervening days being filled up by desert, rainstorms and pestilence, at random.)
* Creator/TerryBrooks has written a few; among them, there's the Maelmord from ''The Wishsong of Literature/{{Shannara}}'', the living forest on Shatterstone in ''Literature/TheVoyageOfTheJerleShannara'', and the living garden protecting the Black Elfstone in ''First King Of Shannara''.
* In ''Literature/TheShining'', the garden of the Overlook Hotel has [[MobileMaze intelligent, evil topiary animals that moved]] only when you weren't looking.
* ''Literature/TheSisterVerseAndTheTalonsOfRuin'' has this as the Glade's most common incarnations, including a hostile forest of liquid flesh, and an endless, foggy hedge maze covered in blood.
* In Lee Lightner's ''TabletopGame/{{Warhammer 40000}}'' Literature/SpaceWolf novel ''Wolf's Honour'', the crops of the [[{{Shadowland}} shadow world]] look like corn, but every leaf has a human face, screaming, and [[ICannotSelfTerminate pleading for release]]. What's worse, the Space Wolves can not stop to burn them; they will need the weapons that can do it. The Inquisitor explains this as the sacrifices to make the world.
* The Garden of the Ziggurat in ''Literature/SpectralStalkers''. It's filled with beautiful crystal flowers which are actually sentient, capable of spitting deadly acid at intruders, as well as dangerous Silica Serpents.
* In "Literature/TheThingsTheyCarried" by Tim O'Brien one character, after watching a fellow soldier, recently unhinged by seeing his best friend blown to bits by an extremely powerful booby trap, systematically torture an unresisting baby water buffalo by shooting pieces off of it before finally killing it explicitly invokes the trope.
-->"Well, that's Nam,' he said. "Garden of Evil. Over here, man, every sin's real fresh and original."
* ''Literature/TrashOfTheCountsFamily'' has The Forest of Darkness, where every day is a fight for survival because [[EverythingTryingToKillYou everything tries to kill you]], plant and animal alike. It's also home to a [[SwampsAreEvil poison swamp]] and is the only place on the continent that has
* In the ''Literature/{{Uglies}}'' world, vast swaths of the (presumed American) wilderness have become a desert, and what isn't desert is taken over by the "white weed." The protagonist is told that the weed is a species of orchid that was very rare and very expensive, and scientists genetically modified the flower to grow faster and healthier. It soon became so invasive that it choked out all other forms of plant life and ruined the soil.
* ''{{Literature/Uprooted}}'' has The Wood, a forest filled with monsters that carry TheCorruption, Heart Trees that are made from [[PoweredByAForsakenChild kidnapped villagers]], and a GeniusLoci that wants to KillAllHumans.
* ''Literature/TheWheelOfTime'' series contains the Blight, a continent-spanning rain forest situated past the northern fringes of civilization, filled with ancient biological experiments. Trees scream and attack animals that walk beneath, and everywhere are deadly creatures not even mages (or even the [[BigBad Dark One's]] own minions, often enough) dare face. Somewhere beyond it is the Dark One's lair. References to its accelerating expansion are made throughout the series, as a sign that the Last Battle is approaching.\\

In the second book it is said that the Blight has retreated a few hundred meters, implied to be a result of a major victory by the protagonists in the first book. It didn't last.

The worst of these spots is the one created when he blasted his way free of his prison -- named Gallowgarden, the resulting jungle of slimy, writhing vines, tumorous plants, moaning trees and misshapen beasts stands in stark contrast to the barren and undead-haunted landscape of the rest of the lich's realm, but is no less deadly to visit.

* Downplayed, but both the [[EvilutionaryBiologist Simic Combine]] and the [[PestController Golgari Swarm]] of Ravnica in ''TabletopGame/MagicTheGathering'' produce these. The Simic Combine's "parks" are open-air labs full of bio-engineered plants and animals, almost all of which are deadly, as they continually experiment with pushing evolution to new heights. The Golgari's rot-farms and dripping jungles are a more gross version, typically full of FesteringFungus (which is often mobile, aggressive, hallucinogenic, acid-spitting, carnivorous, or any combination thereof), BigCreepyCrawlies, zombies, and combinations thereof.
** The Selesnya Conclave [[ZigzaggedTrope subverts it at first glance, but ultimately plays it straight]]. The paradisaical gardens where every inhabitant and creature seemingly lives in harmony will instantly turn on an outsider as one singular angry organism, with [[ElementalEmbodiment the very garden itself coming to life to attack you]] if you prove too resilient.

Scale can vary greatly. A common type of DeathWorld [[SingleBiomePlanet consists entirely of this]]. In instances where the garden grows, expect TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt. See TheLostWoods, 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 and GardenOfLove.
