One of the joys of visiting Joy Creek is that they have scores more plants on site than they can fit into their catalog. Plants of all sorts. Not just fuchsias. That said, the fuchsia selection is pretty extensive, in the catalog as well as at the nursery, so I was hard pressed not to want to slip one of each into my carry-on luggage back to New York. Of course, that’s where mail order nurseries rule: You don’t have to show ANY restraint later. Ha ha. The weather was oddly hot and sunny on the late September day I finally managed to get here again. The view from the end of the fuchsia test beds was amazingly bright and clear and the sight of Mount St. Helens far across the Columbia River particularly beautiful. If you find yourself in the neighborhood of Portland, I highly suggest you make a personal visit to Joy Creek Nursery. For the plants, the display gardens or the view. It’s well worth it. ➤ Joy Creek Website.
