The Darling Wildflower Show

Release your flower power at Darlings Annual show!

The Darling Wildflower Society has held a show almost every year since that first show in 1917. The aim is to showcase Darling's God-given wealth for the world to see and at the same time to promote the conservation of flowers amongst the farmers of the district, who have maintained the botanical diversity of the region over several generations.

The Darling Wildflower Show takes place annually over the third weekend in September at the Darling Club.

A hall will be landscaped with Darling wildflowers, from the most fragile and rare to the ones easily found. Craft and fun stalls with goodies await you and there will also be a lecture hall with wine tastings, talks and displays of art.

All flowers and plants on show grow wild in the Darling district and are picked under strict supervision of the Darling Wildflower Society. The detail can vary substantially, being that the Darling Flora is all about the extravagant diversity and fragrance. While the big picture displays such as the fields of daisies are magnificent, it is the small detail that will fascinate, as will the wondrous scent of the veld.

Entry fee includes entry to the landscaped hall and the lecture hall.
