Darling is a buzzing and enchanting place in spring. While a myriad of pollinators such as wasps, flies, mice and sunbirds are at work in the fields, the fairy godparents of biodiversity wave their magic wands at the Darling Sports Club for the 92nd year!   The hall will be transfigured into a landscape filled with Darling wildflowers, from the most fragile and rare to the ones easily found. Stalls with all sorts of tempting and interesting goodies await, while an exhibition tent will showcase all gardening, conservation and landscaping related goods. There will also be a lecture hall with wine tastings, talks and displays of art. Entry fee includes entry to the landscaped hall and the lecture hall. There's even a unique display of lichens compiled by the botanist Dr. Pixie Littlewort. Love for the flowers The Darling Wildflower Show has been presented by the Darling Wildflower Society since 1917, and the work is largely done by volunteers. The work of the society focuses on two significant aspects of renosterveld, namely its unique character and the urgent need for its conservation. This has led to the recent founding of the Darling Wildflower Trust, and whilst continuing to support local charities, the income from the show now mainly goes towards conservation initiatives like the Darling Flora Project.
