Bug-eating plants put on a show
Hungry insect chomping plants go on show at the National Botanic Garden of Wales on Saturday and Sunday August 5-6.
The Carnivorous Plant Society is hosting the event which features a large display of living carnivorous plants, stands for expert advice and plant care, children’s activities, expert talks and plants for sale – so you can buy your very own Venus fly trap!
Promotions officer for the Carnivorous Plant Society, Ian Salter said: “This event offers an excellent opportunity for the expert, the keen and the curious to browse our displays of these fascinating and unusual plants, find out how to grow them and buy some to take home. It is also another very good reason to visit this magnificent garden.”
The show is on from 10am to 5pm both days. Admission is £10.50 for adults with a family ticket (for 2 adults and up to 4 children) priced at £25. There is no additional charge for the carnivorous plant show.
