Welcome to the Voodoo Greenhouse


Carnivorous Plants

I've been growing carnivorous plants for the last 30 years. I've now got one tropical and three temperate greenhouses dedicated to them.

Programming

As well as a love for plants I am a front end programmer, constantly learning and looking to make useful tools with code.

Artworks

I also create digital sculptures and 2D digital and non-digital artworks. Some of the 3D models are available for 3D printing and use in video games.

What is the Voodoo Greenhouse?

I've been growing carnivorous plants for 30 years (ish), this is a website dedicated to my never ending enthusiasm for them.

In addition to being addicted to plant cultivation I'm also a programmer and artist (with a background including an MSc in Biodiversity and a Bsc in Biological Sciences, I've also worked in conservation and marine biology)

I like being able to mash my education, experience and willingness to experiment with tech to create new tools for plant cultivation, fun and to make my life easier!

Carnivorous plant cultivation is covered extensively elsewhere so this website will not go into it, this is more of a showcase of my experiments and findings. Good cultivation guides can be found here:

Nepenthes specifically:

Sarracenia Northwest Nepenthes guide
Tom's Carnivores
Predatory Plants Youtube
Red Leaf Exotics Nepenthes guide

Books on all species cultivation:

  • The Savage Garden: Cultivating Carnivorous Plants, by Peter D'Amato
  • Growing Carnivorous Plants, by Barry Rice
  • Carnivorous Plants: Gardening with Extraordinary Botanicals, by Nigel Hewitt-Cooper
