EnglishWhat Is the Northwest Fuchsia Society Website?
Updated
The Northwest Fuchsia Society website (nwfuchsiasociety.com) is the official online home of the Northwest Fuchsia Society, a group whose stated mission is to inform and educate the public in fuchsia culture, promote the growing and showing of fuchsias, and serve as a communication link among member societies. It is useful to you if you want to learn how to grow fuchsias, find a local society or sale near you, or connect with other fuchsia growers in the Pacific Northwest.
What the site is for
The site functions as a hub rather than a shop or a social network. Its stated purpose covers three things:
- Education — teaching the public about fuchsia culture
- Promotion — encouraging the growing and showing of fuchsias
- Connection — linking member societies and individual growers
What you can find there
The main menu and homepage point to several resource areas:
| Area | What it offers |
|---|---|
| Hardy List | A list of hardy fuchsia varieties, with 10 new hardies recently added |
| Fuchsia Books | Includes a new species booklet |
| Important Dates | A calendar of events, updated for the year |
| Pests and Diseases | Information on common fuchsia problems |
| Growers' List | A directory of growers |
| Event Photos | Photos of fuchsia blossoms and past events |
| Scholarship | Scholarship information and applications |
Events and local societies
The Important Dates page lists plant sales and society events across the region, typically in spring. Examples from the posted calendar include the Lake Wilderness Arboretum Spring Plant Sale in Maple Valley, WA, and sales by the Eastside, Fuchsia Fanciers, Peninsula, LakeBay, and Oregon fuchsia societies. Each listing gives a date, time, location, and contact details. The site notes that events may be cancelled without notice, so confirm before traveling.
Membership and staying in touch
You can join as a Member-At-Large to receive the Flash newsletter, or use the Societies page to find and join a nearby local group. The Flash is published online — for example, a July 2024 edition was posted for reading.
Who this site is for
It suits home gardeners in the Pacific Northwest who want practical fuchsia guidance, people looking for a local sale or society to join, and anyone who wants to show fuchsias or stay current through the newsletter and event calendar. If you are outside the region, the educational pages and book listings may still be useful, but the event calendar and society contacts are regional.
