Expand your palette of native plants. Unusual native carniverous plants grown by members of the Mid-Atlantic Carniverous Plant Society will be available for sale. Anyone can get on their mailing list, but only members can offer plants for sale at meetings. We suggested the HPS invite this younger club to sell at the Fall Gardeners' Market.
