No terrariums. No myths. No nonsense. Just the straight facts from guys who grow and propagate thousands of carnivorous plants every year since 1995. Jeff Dallas and Jacob Farin are owners of Sarracenia Northwest, a carnivorous plant nursery in Oregon, USA. With over 50 years of combined experience, they will share with you their no-nonsense approach to growing some of the most spectacular plants in the world.
Jeff Dallas started Sarracenia Northwest in 1995 out of a passion for carnivorous plants. As a young teenager, he started his journey with a single Venus flytrap. Twenty years later, his collection grew to where he was able to sell his excess plants at a local outdoor market in Portland, Oregon. The rest is history! With a background in education, Jeff loves being at the market and teaching new growers about carnivorous plants. Jeff also works for the Outdoor School with the Multnomah Educational School District, working with sixth graders about the outdoor sciences.
Prior to joining Sarracenia Northwest in 2003, Jacob worked in the healthcare field. He left that career to to help develop the online portion of the nursery, first as cobraplant.com, then later as Growcarnivorousplants.com, Inc. Throughout the years, he has worked on many projects, such as the Grow Carnivorous Plants DVDs, The Ultimate Carnivorous Plant Guide for Beginners, and many Youtube videos.
