Clanwilliam Wild Flower Show 2010

The annual ten-day Clanwilliam Wild Flower Show is presented by the Clanwilliam Wild Flower Association in the Old Dutch Reformed Church from 26 August - 1 September 2010. About the show It starts at the end of August and ends first week in September. The Church was declared a National Monument in 1978. At the end of winter, the Flower Church becomes a hive of activity. Volunteers happily create a manmade landscape inside the church; a kaleidoscope from nature made accessible to everybody. About 360 species are exhibited by the Clanwilliam Wildflower Society, which is a fitting complement to the dignified architecture of the church. The pulpit has been quiet for many years, but the flowers offer a song of praise heavenwards. The Old Dutch Reformed Church was built in 1864 and is commonly known today as the 'Flower church' where the annual wild flower show is held Cape Winelands Events Programme: Clanwilliam Wild Flower Show This flower fête includes concerts, art and food stalls, and a street carnival.
