Non-carnivorous plants can live near carnivorous one. Carnivorous plants don't eat other plants or anything like that. What you might be referring to is the fact that carnivorous plants tend to grow in certain environments that many other plants couldn't survive in. Specifically, they grow in areas with soils that have very little nutrients. Carnivorous plants can live there because they can get the nutrients they need from their prey rather than from the soil. There are other plants that are adapted to those types of ecosystems is other ways (non-carnivorous ways), and those plants can live alongside carnivorous plants. Most plants can't live in those environments, though.

Why do Venus fly trap insects?
Most carnivorous plants originate in soils that are deficient in natural sources of Nitrogen. Carnivorous plants (such as Venus flytraps - Dionea spp.) trap and digest insects to extract the Nitrogen (and other nutrients) from their bodies. All carnivorous plants are intolerant to artificial fertilisers which can kill them if applied.
