Profile


Welcome to the
Fuchsia+Blog


Fuchsias, of course! But there's lots here besides those fuchsias. I write about gardening things. Plants. Nature. History. And I do get around to other gardens, big and small, wide and far, to see what's up there as well.

In addition to the posts on the Fuchsia+Blog, you can also follow my tweets and thoughts on
➤ Bluesky Social
➤ Instagram
➤ Facebook.

Come, join me in exploring the world garden from The Fuchsietum. Even if it's not filled with all fuchsais. It’s one world, one garden, after all!

And much credit goes to my partner, freelance journalist and nature wriiter Kevin Gepford, for his invaluable behind-the-scenes contributions to editing, photography, and travel at The Fuchsietum. Visit Kevin at
➤ The Tortoise Project for his not-so-behind-the-scenes face to the world
