SATURDAY, April 15, 10-12 (at the Hort Farm)

Have you ever wondered about those plants that eat insects? How they trap those insects? Biologist Lindsey Pett will highlight the major groups of carnivorous plants including North American Pitcher Plants, Tropical Pitcher Plants, Bladderworts, the Venus Flytrap, and Albany Pitcher Plant. She will dive into each group's general ecology and discuss their carnivorous traits. She will also review proper care on watering, substrate, light, and dormancy. And she will bring some of the plants from her collection to show. The program will end with a Q&A on these mysterious plants and a plant to take home!

This program will be presented at the UVM Horticulture Farm, 65 Green Mountain Drive, So. Burlington.
Members FREE, Non-members $10
