In the wild, carnivorous plants grow in very limited habitats but they adapt surprisingly well to outdoor container gardening. Hardy pitcher plants, sundews, Venus flytraps and other carnivorous plants thrive in pots when provided with the proper cultural conditions. Grower and carnivorous plant expert Jonathan Kui reveals the fascinating adaptations of carnivorous plants ,while showcasing a variety of live plants from his Manhattan-based nursery Midtown Carnivores. Learn about the specific requirements of these bog-dwelling plants, then plant up your own mini-bog to take home to your sunny balcony, terrace or backyard. Plants, pots and all supplies provided—just bring your curiosity and a sense of adventure! Ages 12 and older welcome with an adult.

Registration required, online or by calling 718.549.3200 x251. Questions? Please email us at information@wavehill.org or call the telephone number and extension above.
