    World Carnivorous Plant Day 2021 Videos

    The WCPD 2021 videos are now available on the WPCD 2021 page in easy to choose and view format.

    For our first World Carnivorous Plant Day, Kenny Coogan and Carson Trexler recruited a range of hobbyists, nurseries, professors, and authors. Everyone we reached out to was very generous with their time. Jeremiah Harris’ international connections were immensely helpful in finding content. John Kim edited all 20 videos, a huge task, that is much appreciated.
