My next event will be in Berkeley giving a workshop: Incorporating carnivorous plants into the garden with Stephen Davis, president of Bay Area Carnivorous Plant Society and Judith Finn, horticulturist and expert on carnivorous plants. 10 a.m. to noon Sept. 17. $25-$35. UC Botanical Garden, 200 Centennial Dr., Berkeley. (510) 643-2755; http://botanicalgarden.berkeley.edu /program/index.shtml.
I will go over how I built the bog garden you see here in the "CP in Bog 200x" sections. It's so easy to grow these beauties outside in the Bay Area, all you need is a few tips.
