Local businesses, industrial estates and business parks in Coventry offer a shining example of care and responsibility of the regeneration of their ground maintenance. Westwood Business Park has again kept a well maintained green space, providing a pleasant and enjoyable working environment for the many staff who work on site within the various 50 business buildings. Crosspoint Business Park host large office buildings which include premises belonging to Lloyd’s Pharmacy and Barclays Bank; the area works hard to combine contemporary landscaping alongside sustainable, attractive planting. The various shrubs and perennials provide all year round colour, nestled in alongside the stunning key focal points within the otherwise urbanised location.

Work has continued at Coventry train station, which is for many, the gateway to the city. The Landscape Group along with CV One have worked with staff to improve and create a shining representation of Coventry in order to leave a long lasting, positive impression upon the thousands of visitors who arrive in the city each day. Coventry city council have provided an extra 20 planter containers to supplement the ones currently in place; these have been planted with vibrant, summer planting including geraniums and begonias. Similarly, dedicated staff members have prepared hanging baskets with trailing, colourful summer blooms to brighten the various platforms for visitors.

As one of the partners for this year’s Coventry in Bloom campaign, Ikea’s first city centre based store continues to embrace its prime location in the heart of Coventry by making efforts to brighten the immediate surroundings with well maintained border planting, herbaceous plants and shrubs along with lush, grass verges. The Landscape Group have kindly donated and planted new additions to the surrounding beds which have in turn improved the look and feel to the store, softening the appearance of the landmark site.

Local pubs, restaurants and businesses in the city centre have once again, worked hard along side the Bloom campaign to make an extra, enthusiastic effort in improving the facades of their buildings, making them vibrant and welcoming to residents and visitors alike. ‘The Tudor Rose’ pub has again, decorated it’s frontage with beautiful hanging baskets, as have ‘The Squirrel’ and ‘Playwrights’ café, complimenting the surrounding buildings and green space with wonderful colourful, summer blooms serving as an inviting attraction to passers by. Brown’s café/bar continues to support the campaign by working alongside CV One and The Landscape Group to plant summer colour outside of their well-known establishment. As always, business owners in the historical Spon Street continually strive to create a lush, well maintained environment by working together to add complimentary planting to the front of their stores. The Landscape Group have worked to fill planter containers surrounding the famous Coventry council house with vibrant, summer geraniums and polyanthus. Adding colourful flare through one of the busiest streets in the city, these containers serve as a warm welcome to visitors by both brightening and complimenting the heritage steeped, Earl Street.

New Union Street car park and its nearby offices are interlaced with several colourful beds which house a selection of marigolds, begonias, geraniums and pansies. Eden Bar located in Ryley Street displays an energetic array of hanging baskets and potted palms which combine to compliment the 18th century cottage. The latest multi million pound business park within the city boasts a variety of hard landscaping, stunning vistas and residential recreational areas for its accommodation guests and employees.
