Our famous Show & Sale is returning to the Sherman Library & Gardens on Father's Day weekend! We are excited to be putting on one of the best carnivorous plant shows in the world!
CORONA DEL MAR, CA – The sticky leaves of sundews, cavernous mouths of pitcher plants, and dangerous jaws of Venus flytraps will once again fill the grounds of Sherman Library & Gardens for the enjoyment of all.
· Incredible Carnivorous Plant Show – Some of the biggest, showiest, and hungriest carnivorous plants will be on display as never before seen in Southern California. Gaze upon the multiple textures and colors and make sure to bring your camera to capture the experience. See which plants catch the expert judges’ eyes and take home the prize of "Best in Show". This year the judged show is sponsored by California Carnivores, grower and seller of the widest variety of carnivorous plants in the United States for the last 30 years.
· In-Depth Presentations – Learn how to care for carnivorous plants from SCCPE members. Growing, propagating, feeding, and even staging techniques will be discussed to build your confidence diving into the hobby of carnivorous plants.
· Thousands of Plants for Sale – This extraordinary opportunity to choose and take home your favorite carnivorous plants is unlike any other. Vendors will be offering various selections and cultivars, big and small, that will simply amaze. Find the plant you have always wanted for your collection, or start your hobby with a few vigorous specimens.
· Sherman Library & Gardens Venue – Explore the immaculate gardens behind the gates. This beach city with its hidden wonder provides an opportunity to explore plants from around the world, maintained to perfection, providing a form of living art. The gift shop offers an assortment of themed gifts while the café provides delicious provisions for your time at the garden.
· Be a Part of History – With over a thousand guests attending each of the last three years, SCCPE aims to grow the event this year with even more plants on display, more plants available for purchase, and even more room for guests to explore the curious world of carnivorous plants. The 2024 SCCPE Show & Sale may be the biggest of its kind in the United States, if not the world!
