Jesse H. Jones Park & Nature Center - Houston, TX area (USA) (Humble, TX)
While I have not been there, I have seen some pics and I know Mike Howlett gives regular CP talks highlighting many species from around the world.

Anyone near Hamilton, Ohio (southwestern corner of the state) should check out the conservatory at Miami University's Hamilton Campus. www.ham.muohio.edu/conservatory/They have Pinguiculas, Nepenthes, Drosera, and Sarracenia on display. It's just a small conservatory, but it's pretty cool... and admission is free!

The Montreal Botanical Garden has a quite a few vines of Nepenthes in the production greenhouses (not public accessible), along with many Drosera, Heliamphora, Darlingtonia, Pinguicula species and hybrids, and Sarracenia hybrids. In the outdoor bog (in the First Nations Garden), you can see some definitely large clumps of Sarracenia purpurea subsp. purpurea, with scattered Drosera rotundifolia growing on the Sphagnum mats. The CP terrarium in the main greenhouse exhibits some large Nepenthes, Sarracenia, Pinguicula, Drosera and sometimes the occasional Heliamphora or Darlingtonia. Also, it serves as the headquarters for the Canadian CP Society. www2.ville.montreal.qc.ca/jardin/en/menu.htm

Don't forget UC Davis! They have an excellent greehouse display - mostly Nepenthes, and some exotic ones at that - they have some GORGEOUS hamatas on display, a few VFT's - B-52s and Justina Davis, cephalotus as well as ephiphitic bladderworts - and Sarracenias outdoors - the S. flava ornatas they have there....Ernesto Sandoval is awesome, always accomodating and very kind - call first though, the man juggles alot! greenhouse.ucdavis.edu/conservatory/

As much as it pains me to say it, the Longwood Gardens CP collection is pretty sad, actually. Floppy, generic leucophylla and purpurea hybrids represent Sarracenia, there is perhaps one species of ping (don't know my pings very well, sorry) and there are a few capensis representing for the sundews. All are grown in the inadequate medium light (ugh) of the doorways of Longwood's Fern Room. Here and there an unlabeled Nepenthes hybrid with brown, shriveled lids hangs among the ferns to round things out.
I say "pains" because I love Longwood, and it is a trip worth making, regardless of your location - if you're in PA or NJ, it's inexcusable to miss it. If you're any kind of horticulturist, however, you will see an abundance of missed opportunities.

Great post! Very good information you guys have posted. I have to add information for my country: The only botanical garden that has some CPs is the Lankester Garden, I have to go there these days to confirm and see if they have more, but a friend has just gone there and saw some Nepenthes plants there, well that is a start, the first garden with CPs in the country. www.jbl.ucr.ac.cr/php/inicio/inicio.phpAlso, if anyone is around, my collection is not public but if I'm home, I may give a free tour around it.
