Join us for an illuminating conversation about how to grow and care for fuchsia plants with one of our region's most experienced fuchsia growers. For more than 30 years, Caroline Zebroski has been a member of the Eastside Fuchsia Society, which is responsible for the fuchsia garden at Bellevue Botanical Garden. In this talk, Caroline will share lessons gained from her experience managing the care of over 130 varieties of fuchsias at Bellevue since 2015. Participants will learn to care for hardy and non-hardy fuchsias, how to start fuchsias from cuttings, proper pinching techniques, effective pest control, preparing potted fuchsias for winter storage, and waking up fuchsias in spring to become beautiful flowers to delight hummingbirds and humans alike. Finally, Caroline will reveal her favorite local places to purchase these inexpensive beauties. Rain or shine. In inclement weather, the talk will move indoors.
Tickets $15. Members $10.
