Savage Garden, Revised : Cultivating Carnivorous Plants

Gardening & Environment Education & Reference Science & Nature

Peter D’Amato’s cult-favorite Savage Garden, Revised is the 2013 second edition of the ultimate guide to carnivorous plants. This hefty 384-page, fully illustrated handbook shows beginners and collectors how to grow Venus flytraps, pitcher plants, sundews and more in any climate.

The updated trade paperback keeps the witty, plain-English style that made the original a classic while adding today’s soil mixes, pest controls and sustainable tricks. Step-by-step photos and line drawings demystify dormancy, lighting, feeding and breeding so even indoor gardeners can enjoy bug-snapping greenery year-round.

Environment and horticulture buffs value it as both a coffee-table flip-through and a serious reference. The copy offered here is in very good shape—crisp, unmarked pages, tight spine, no dog-ears or smoke odor—ready for immediate potting-bench duty.
