Since1917 Darling’s Wildflower Shows, are a highlight of the flower season on the West Coast. through all the years their mission with the show stayed the same: to display Darling’s God-given wealth of flowers for the world to see, and promote the conservation of flowers.
The West Coast flower region, an integral part of the Cape Fynbos Kingdom, boasts more than 1200 species of flowering plants. About 80 of these are endemic to the West Coast and known nowhere else. The rich flora of the West Coast occurs on mainly three different soil types, culminating in three distinctive vegetation types, namely, Strandveld, Renosterveld and Sandveld.
Darling lies within the Cape West Coast Biosphere reserve in the centre of the threatened lowland sandplain and renosterveld fynbos.
