As bog plants, most carnivorous plants require damp, humid conditions to thrive. All plants except butterworts will appreciate a bright sunny position, ideally on a windowsill close to the glass. Butterworts do best in lower light levels and should be kept out of direct sunlight.

Fresh or dried, herbs add zest to cooking, perfume the house and have natural medicinal and cosmetic benefits. The fun of making pot pourri, tussie mussies, infused vinegars and pestos from your own garden is most rewarding.
