Rocking The Daisies 2009 Dates Confirmed

It’s Official!!! Rocking the Daisies 2009 has been confirmed for the 9th, 10th and 11th October. Rocking the Daisies is held annually on Cloof Wine Estate in Darling, Western Cape.

I notice its slightly later in the year this year, I’m guessing it’s so we can get  Rocking in full summer after last years’ cold snap. I’m still taking my gumboots, there’s just something so cool about rocking through the weekend with Gumboots. I DEFINATELY won’t be missing this event!

I thoroughly enjoyed the event last year which is a carbon nuetral event as your’e probably aware.

This was the result of last years event:

• 250 trees planted in the Koringberg community
• 5 trees were planted on Cloof Wine Estate on the weekend of the festival.
• 20 tons (150 cubic meters) of waste was collected.

19.32 tons of this was recycled

This included:

• 9 tons of tin
• 1.2 tons of PET (plastic bottles and the like)
• 420 kg cardboard
• 8.7 tons of glass
