Tim Barker – Sarracenia Showstoppers Are Ready for Your Landscape: Acres or Inches!

March 16, 2026 @ 6:00 pm - 8:30 pm
From sweeping bog meadows to patio pots, the native North American pitcher plants (Sarracenia spp.) are captivating additions to gardens of any scale. These striking carnivorous perennials offer sculptural form, vivid color, and ecological intrigue — all with surprising ease of care. Join seasoned plantsman and nursery owner Timothy Barker of Mountain Paradise Nursery for an engaging presentation on how to use Sarracenia in both small spaces and large landscape settings. Learn about their natural history, their pollinator-friendly charms, and how to grow them successfully in containers, constructed bogs, or naturalized beds. Whether you’re designing a jewel-box patio garden or restoring a wetland, these showstoppers deserve a starring role.
