Whimsy, a lifelong resident of the Pine Barrens, will also give a demonstration of how to build and maintain your own container garden for these strange, wonderful plants. Live specimens of these plants will be on display, and care sheets for carnivorous plants like Venus Flytrap will also be made available.

If you are at the show, stop by our booth Tuesday at Dealer's Choice booth B107-110, and Wednesday at Heart o' the Mart booth J-3. The store will remain open, but with slightly limited hours, 2-8pm all week. We will return to the shop either Thursday or Friday with all sorts of new items, although it will take a while to put the store back together.
