Mike first started growing Carnivorous plants in the UK in 2015 and built up his collection in a 10ft x 8ft greenhouse – purely as a hobby. He sold a few at a couple of craft fairs in 2018. When we moved to Ireland in April 2019 we were able to bring the full collection with us as it was pre-Brexit and there were no restrictions!

He has been growing them on and in June 2022 he had a stall at Limerick Garden Festival and was taken completely by surprise at the amount of interest and number of sales. He also had stalls at 7 craft fairs and, again, sales were extremely good.

In 2024 we were delighted to welcome customers from further afield - Limerick, Abbeylieux, Wexford to name but a few - as we are one of the few (if not the only) specialists in Carnivorous plants.

The above two photos were taken by Natalie Thwaite at Bansha Craft Fayre in July 2022.

Sales stock currently includes Alicia, Darlingtonia (cobra lily), Dionaea (sundews), Drosera (Venus Fly Traps), Nepenthes and Sarracenia.
