Pitcher Plant Farm

My name is Volker Heinrich and I am growing carnivorous plants since 1980. As usual it was that magical Venus fly trap that had to change my life, quickly followed by a yellow trumpet plant and a cape sundew, and many more to come. It was still difficult to find carnivorous plants for sale, but it became better in 1987 when I became member of the German Carnivorous Plant society GFP. A society like that was heaven in those days prior to Internet and online discussion forums. I moved with my plant collection in Germany from Frankfurt to Munich, where I became engineer of horticultural sciences.
