the last Saturday in February, May and August at 1 Albert Road Bullaburra

The purpose of the not for profit club is to promote the growing of Fuchsias through
the sharing of information, plants and tips.
Fuchsia Festival
In November each year, the club has a Fuchsia Festival during which we get
together with other interested people .
At the Festival, we sell well developed Nursery quality named Fuchsia plants
and baskets at very reasonable prices, provide Advisors to help visitors
choose plants and give advice, conduct workshops, have a large
Exhibition of Fuchsias in Pots and baskets
The Festival Entry is donated to a local charity
Other Events:
The club joins with the Blue Mountains Historical Society on their
October Open Day each year to sell well developed nursery quality
Named Fuchsias and provide advisors to give advice and mount a
Fuchsia Exhibition .
We also have a stall at the Collector’s Plant Fair in Bilpin
each April to sell named Fuchsias.
We advise members of Open Fuchsia Gardens which they may wish to visit
Meetings
Members enjoy our informal meetings which begin with a
plant and cuttings swap and a Blooms Exhibition.
This is followed by a hands-on workshop on a topic chosen by
members at the previous meeting.
A simple formal meeting is then followed by an Open Discussion topic
in which all members present share their expertise
We finish the meeting with afternoon tea where members
continue their discussions and share tips with others.
Other Services:
The club has a Newsletter which goes out six weeks after each meeting and the festival.
The Newsletter is a very practical one and treats topics appropriate to the season,
information on where to purchase plants, topics suggested by members etc.
We have a small Library which is available to members.
Books may be borrowed for six months and
we have a postal service for those who cannot attend meetings
