January Meeting at Palma Sola Botanical Park - Kenny Coogan - Florida's Carnivorous Plants

What: MRFC Monthly Meeting - MRFC Partners

When: Monday January 8th, 2024 at 7pm

Where: Palma Sola Botanical Park, 9800 17th Ave NW, Bradenton, FL 34209

Please note that our January meeting will be held at Palma Sola Botanical Park, as our regular location is unavailable due to the Manatee County Fair. Members are encouraged to bring a dish or a raffle plant if you can.

Our January speaker will be Kenny Coogan, author of the new book "Florida's Carnivorous Plants." Florida has dozens of native species of carnivorous plants – more than any other state in the United States.

Kenny has a Master’s Degree in Global Sustainability and is passionate about Florida’s wildlife and plants. He is the Education Director for the International Carnivorous Plant Society, and runs a successful carnivorous plant nursery in Tampa, Florida.

Kenny's book and a selection of tropical carnivorous plants will be available for purchase after the talk. Please join us for the unusual and fascinating topic!
