Established 1988The Society's aim is to encourage and promote the cultivation of the fuchsia and, obviously, most of the meetings are geared towardsthis with guest speakers giving talks, demonstrations and slide shows on a wide range of subjects on fuchsia growing. To avoid thisbecoming too monotonous we do invite speakers from other fields of horticulture to talk on their own particular speciality from time totime. We also organise a coach trip in early Spring to various fuchsia nurseries to enable members to stock up for the summer and toobtain varieties not found locally. A bonus to becoming a member is, of course, the many friends to be made, not just in this Society but throughout the North West. A number of our members have made their mark in showing and travel to other Societies to do so, whichgives them a chance to catch up with acquaintances. Whether you grow fuchsias purely for your own pleasure or have a secret desireto show, then you will be made more than welcome at our next meeting. Please come along and try us out, there will be no pressure on you to join. If you do it will cost you just £5.00- single or £8.00 - double per year. That can't be bad.
