Welcome to Riverside Fuchsias -

Holders of the National Collection

    Riverside fuchsias are a small family-run nursery, built up over 25 years on old watercress beds in the Darenth valley. It is now sandwiched between the rear of agriculture machinery suppliers {Ernest Doe's} and the National Trust property, St John's Jerusalem {with restricted opening hours} and attractive lakes and woodlands owned by the North-West Kent Angling and Preservation Society. Many of our customers {and ourselves} think of Riverside as a little oasis, tucked away, as we are down a quiet lane and yet only 10 minutes from the Dartford crossing and the M 25.
    The business is perhaps best known for its fuchsias the range stands in excess of 1000 varieties including the national collection However a good range of geraniums has also been collected { though we do not now issue a catalogue }. Throughout, we aim to offer a friendly, personal and efficient service, with good quality plants for sale at reasonable prices.
We hope you enjoy browsing through our catalogue and may even feel prompted to send us an order... better still, come and visit us one day! We always welcome visitors who come to see the national collection and the stock plants especially when they are in flower, finally we endeavour to supply only what we consider to be the best varieties available. If there is a variety you are seeking which does not appear on our list, then please do not hesitate to ask- we have limited numbers of additional varieties available from time to time.
