The Dutch Carnivorous Plants Organisation "Carnivora" is an association for CP hobbyists. The aim of the association is the exchange of knowledge, experience and plants-materials between her members. Carnivora maintains contact with her members by organizing general meetings and expositions. This website is an important medium to communicate with our members.

Our Newsletter is released three times a year in April, August and December. The members and the Committee deliver the content of the Newsletters.
The subjects are about plant descriptions, breeding guidelines, book descriptions, agenda, exchange of plants, travel reports, addresses of international nurseries and lots more...

At least twice a year there are general meetings. The first meeting occurred mostly in May. During the general meetings there is a lot of time to meet members and exchange experience. At the same time the committee organizes a CP plant market, so there is a good opportunity for the exchange of plants and seeds. A presentation of CP plants and/or travel report is always a subject of the meeting. The time and date of the meetings are released in the Newspapers and on the "Agenda" of this website.

The Committee is organizing excursions to (commercial)nurseries. During those events there is a possibility for our members and also members of other CP organisations to acquire Carnivorous Plants. Normally it isn't possible for individuals to buy plants directly from the nurseries. The date and time of these events are released in the Agenda of this website and in the newspaper. If there is sufficient interest, the Committee will take care of the transportation of members to and from the nursery.

Carnivora cooperates with other CP organisation in order to exchange knowledge and experience. Our members appreciate it very much if they know what is going on in other CP organisations.
We keep tight contact with the Belgium "Drosera" and the German "GFP" organisations.

Since the year 2000 we are participating in general meetings at European level. The first meeting in Bonn was an enormous success. All European CP organisations were united in this annual European event. This is a good opportunity to maintain international contacts.
Every year the united organisations will take care of a Plant market with an enormous variety of CP's.
Of cause we keep you informed about the date and place of this annual event.
