Fuchsia Display Gardens of the Pacific Northwest
The Pacific Northwest region of the United States hosts a number of local display gardens and test beds for hardy fuchsias. Some are under the aegis of a larger botanical garden. Others are free-standing. They are all dedicated to the fuchsia and feature significant collections. Their sponsorship—or even their full maintenance—is due to the great effort and hard work of the dedicated members of local fuchsia society branches. Of course, there are a number more than this page currently features. I've only included the gardens I've visited and photographed. You can find a larger list on the Northwest Fuchsia Society's website. ➤ NWFS Display Gardens. I’ll try to identify some of the individual cultivars. However, my intentions are to highlight the fuchsia’s possibilities for your own garden rather than emphasize individual cultivars. Don't neglect to also pop in for a visit to the Botanical Gardens page. ➤ Botanical Gardens. There are some significant fuchsia collections covered there as well.

Unfortunately, the charming Country Village is no more. It was bulldozed for yet more apartment complexes to feed Seattle's insatiable real estate market.
