The Stanley Rehder Carnivorous Plant Garden at Piney Ridge Nature Preserve is a truly unique and fascinating destination in Wilmington, NC. Owned by The Oleander Company and leased to the City of Wilmington, this park is open to the public year-round. Visitors can explore the wetlands and marvel at the diverse range of carnivorous plants, including pitcher plants, sundews, and the iconic Venus Flytrap, which only grow naturally within a 70-mile radius of Wilmington.
This garden, named in honor of Stanley Rehder, a passionate advocate for the protection of carnivorous plants, aims to connect the public with these extraordinary species. It is protected by a conservation easement held by the Coastal Land Trust and is home to the annual Flytrap Frolic, a family-friendly event that celebrates the unique beauty and importance of these plants. With its rich biodiversity and dedication to conservation, the Stanley Rehder Carnivorous Plant Garden is a must-visit destination for nature enthusiasts and curious travelers alike.
