About Tom’s Carnivores

Hello! My name’s Tom, and I run Tom’s Carnivores here at tomscarnivores.com.

Whether you’re a long-time greenhouse grower or simply curious about carnivorous plants, Tom’s Carnivores has something for you. On my blog you can expect to read species profiles, grower interviews, cultivation advice, and articles documenting my visits to many world-famous nurseries, private collections, and botanic gardens. This website also serves as my online shop, where I sell a variety of carnivorous plants suitable for growers of all abilities.

I’ve been growing carnivorous plants for over 2 decades, having been fascinated by these plants since I got my first Venus flytrap at age 10. I now have a large greenhouse to house my personal collection. Tom’s Carnivores is my attempt to create a valuable resource for today’s growers, while also enabling fellow enthusiasts to buy new plants for their collection.
