RARE FUCHSIA TALK & SALE

Thursday, August 27, 5–6 p.m.

PowellsWood Garden • 430 S. Dash Point Rd. • Federal Way, WA

General Tickets $15
Member Tickets $10

Join us for an enchanting evening with Matt Hedlund from Wanderlust Nursery. With Matt as our guide, we'll discover less-common hardy fuchsia species and varieties as well as a few exotic, hardy companion plants that bloom all summer long. From the unusual Fuchsia of New Zealand to the high-elevation species of Southeastern Brazil, we'll examine hardy fuchsia of all types and textures that you probably won't find at your local garden center. Finally, we'll take a look at some wonderful everblooming companion plants that offer those warm reds, yellows, and oranges that we struggle to find with Fuchsia flowers.

A 30-minute presentation will be followed by Q&A. A small assortment of rare plants will be available for purchase.
