A number of the weird plants featured in Chris Thorogood’s book Weird Plants are carnivorous. You can grow some of them in your own backyard. From pitcher plants to sundews and butterworts, wetlands scientist Jeff Lapp will walk us through what you need to know to grow your own carnivorous plants in your home garden.
