Year-round Involvement

CV One, English Landscapes, Whitefriars and Coventry City Council provide a service to the thousands of residents, visitors and workers all year round. Throughout the 12 months, there is a plethora of activity and energy ploughed into many different schemes and initiatives. The Bloom events diary is a taster of just some of the activities that are invested in. Along with these, we show evidence of support through the regular newsletters that go out to all the homes in the city, sign board notices with upcoming events, community leaflets that provide support and advice to recycling and compost management, clean up days and lottery funded events. Growing Concern is a fantastic example of how a small community garden has grown over the past 8 years to encourage residents to take part in regular activities in their allotments. With high spirit, enthusiasm and good humour, the local, diverse range of people have created a safe haven that everyone to enjoy.

CV One and English Landscapes also make sure that the city centre is continually cleaned, planted up and safe all year round, with the companies Schmitt machine utilised during the summer months to clean up any pavement stains, chewing gum deposits and litter. There are also initiatives such as the Allesley Hall Walled Garden market day encouraging residents to buy fresh produce and exchange gardening knowledge and tips, and vegetable planting days for the older residents of the Lady Herbert’s cottages that help generate a cross mix of ages, races, and cultures.
