Monthly Meeting – Thursday, February 20th
5:30 Native Plant Auction
6:30 Presentation –  Kenny Coogan: Florida’s Native Carnivorous Plants

Learn about Florida’s endemic carnivorous plants!
Florida has dozens of native species of carnivorous plants – more than any other state in the United States. These plants use appealing scents, leaves, and sticky fluids to trap and imprison insects. Learn the evolution, people, and natural history of this area to discover why Florida is a hotspot of carnivorous plants.

Kenny Coogan, Education Director of the International Carnivorous Plant Society, has a Master’s Degree in Global Sustainability and is passionate about Florida’s wildlife and plants. He now runs a successful carnivorous plant nursery in Tampa, Florida.

Signed copies of Kenny’s book “Florida’s Carnivorous Plants” and a selection of carnivorous plants will be available for purchase after the talk.
