Are you asking about medicinal herbs that are good as climbers or on trellis for the wall?
As an organized effort, however, Benedictine Monasteries in the middle ages were the first to establish gardens cultivated specifically for the study of the therapeutic effects of plant life. In each monastery there was to be a garden dedicated to herbs and medicinal plants and a monk who was well educated and experienced in the healing arts. The garden was surrounded by high walls or cloisters to protect the valuable herbs from harm or possible misuse. These were among the first Apothecary Gardens.
Its rock garden is the oldest English garden devoted to alpine plants. The largest fruiting olive tree in Britain is there, protected by the garden's heat-trapping high brick walls, along with what is doubtless the world's northernmost grapefruit growing outdoors.

But, one bite can kill someone. Some--who probably already had heart conditions--died from just picking them or breathing the spores.

Actually, we can! They can be grown as annuals. I've grown Gotu Kola in my square-foot garden beds. Foolishly also tried lemongrass which took over so badly I was relieved for the winter kill. I've bought organic fresh ginger and turmeric roots that were huge, cheap, and plentiful from a local CSA. So if you can give them a passive greenhouse you'll get even more production.
