About Us
 


 

Midtown Carnivores is an online carnivorous plant retailer and education company based in Hudson County, New Jersey. This startup business was based in New York City, and  transitioned out of the state in July, 2023. In Spring, 2024 it resumed operations as a business in New Jersey.


OUR GOAL
is to be a provider of a modest selection of carnivorous plants to New York City and Hudson County, NJ. We're a small supplier of Venus Flytraps, tropical and North American pitcher plants and sundews, with a stock of commonly used growing supplies, species-appropriate soil mixes and garden nursery items. Additionally, we quality educational programs that showcase the wild and fascinating world of carnivorous plants to participants of all ages.




 
OUR SPECIALTY is in-person courier delivery of your plants and supplies by appointment to Bayonne and Secaucus, NJ, with occasional appointments in Herald Square, NYC. Pickups can be scheduled by phone, just give us a call after you've placed your order, and we'll bring it to your location choice at the time you'd prefer.


 

OUR PLANTS are all cultivated. Midtown Carnivores does not and will not ever support the sale of plants poached from the wild. Our available plants all come potted, as they are cultivated in open air, rather than the sealed plastic "death" cubes from major home repair retailers.


From 2012 through 2023, Midtown Carnivores was a registered plant nursery with the New York State Department of Agriculture and Markets. As of June 2024, Midtown Carnivores is now a registered plant nursery with the New Jersey Department of Agriculture and Markets, Division of Plant Industry.
