Pitcher plants, sundews, Venus fly traps and butterworts are all examples of carnivorous plants, and these will be the subject of a class set to be hosted at H. Street Farms in Washington.
The activity will introduce the public to several species of carnivorous plants, and there are two different ticketing options on offer. Anyone who is interested can choose to purchase a pass that will allow them to attend the workshop and receive one plant to use or they may opt for the one that covers the registration fee as well as plants, pots and other materials.
During the session, the learners will find out how, since they often live in bogs and other locations with soils that are very low in nutrients, these species have adapted to consume insects to make up for the deficiency. They will learn about their planting, propagation and care requirements, and they will also make their own bog garden to take home.
While a function like this provides an introduction to the world of insect eating plants, care pamphlets produced by a brochure printing company will offer the students even more information. These may be distributed to the participants at the end of a function so that they can provide lots of TLC to their new indoor garden.
This opportunity to discover the world of carnivorous plants is scheduled for September 25th. It will be held at 910 Bladensburg Road starting at 11:00 am.
