2008 Entry
 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."
Cllr Andy Matchet,
Lord Mayor of Coventry
