My name is Yvonne and I live in Cape Town South Africa. I have four adult children seven grandsons and three granddaughters 

 I first joined the WCFS some 18yrs ago but with the pressures of a young family and later a very ill husband I was a very back seat member and really did not "get off the ground" .I knew how beautiful Fuchsias are but I did not pay attention to just how rewarding they are to grow. About eight years ago I "retired", moved house and rejoined the society. This time around the bug has bitten and I am what the serious growers call a "Fuchsia Fanatic".

The Society was started 27 yrs ago by Mrs Bunty Milton and a small group of her friends,.   In 2005 Bunty was honoured as our first Honorary Life President in recognition of her sterling contribution not only to our society but to Fuchsias throughout SA.

They used to meet in various homes in the early days and were affiliated to the SA Fuchsia Society. Later as membership grew they broke away and became a society in their own right and have grown ever since under the chairmanship of competent people such as Bunty, Joy Kessler, Neville Nichols and Prof Jan Wiggelinkhuizen

As home computers became more popular and members were enviously looking at Fuchsia sites overseas creating a society website of our own was talked about but never quite materialized then yours truly opened my big mouth offering to attempt to design a site and you are now seeing my very amateur first attempt..

I was introduced to computers by my children some 15 yrs ago because I wanted to expand my home industry and my knitting machine offered great promise in pattern design for which I needed to become computer literate. The interest grew and so here I am wading my way through learning the intricacies of designing a website.

Visit us often because hopefully I'm going to learn more and more and change the site as often as possible.
