Get a true bugs-eye perspective of what it is like to be these plants' prey with super-sized sculptures and beds full of carnivorous plants. Combining science, botany and hands-on activity, Savage Gardens demonstrates the wonders of these unique plants and the importance of preserving the delicate environments in which they live.
