Susan Farrington started the St. Louis Carnivorous Plant Society about three decades ago to promote the conservation and cultivation of carnivorous plants. These amazing plants are great examples of convergent evolution and many are easy to grow. Some can even be grown outside year round.

Deborah Stopsky has been a member of the St. Louis Carnivorous Plant Society almost from the beginning of the organization.

She has been the President for some years. She grows Heliamphora, which grows in the mountains of South America, Sarracenia from our own Southeast, Mexican Butterworts and Cephalotus from Australia. She has given presentations to all ages and brings REAL plants to show and tell. She also gives out care sheets and hopefully, can answer your questions.

Betsy Alexander will speak on “Preventing Winter Damage to your plants”.
