When it comes to botanical literature, few books capture the imagination quite like Peter D’Amato’s “The Savage Garden: Cultivating Carnivorous Plants.” Far more than a mere horticultural guide, D’Amato’s seminal work is a passionate and comprehensive ode to the mesmerizing, often misunderstood, world of carnivorous flora. For both the seasoned botanist and the curious newcomer, “The Savage Garden” stands as an indispensable and utterly delightful journey into the evolutionary marvels that are insect-eating plants.
