2008 Entry - Gold Award & Category Winner

This year CV One, Coventry City Council, English Landscapes and Whitefriars join together to enter the Large City category.

The 2008 theme for Coventry in Bloom is ‘Roots in History’, and follows Coventry’s epic, historical story through the natural progression of its famous heritage. The historical roots of our city will be showcased in several displays across Coventry, taking in an impressive array of colourful, exotic, fresh and vibrant beds and structures, prominent landscaping, local environment quality initiatives and a dedicated focus in highlighting our continual efforts in working together.

Welcome

"Coventry's entry this year is a culmination of the efforts of various organisations including Coventry City Council, CV One and Whitefriars Housing Group, and also local community groups across the city. All have worked together in partnership with the single aim of creating and maintaining a city which blooms all the year round.

The environment they live in means a lot to the people of Coventry, so we will continue in our joint efforts to provide a cleaner, greener and attractive city – not only for its citizens, but also for the many visitors who come to our great city each year.

Many dedicated and committed people have worked with a great sense of pride, as well as a lot of hard work, to be involved in the Heart of England in Bloom, 2008 project.

I would like to thank them all and also wish them 'Good Luck' in their bid for gold."
