Community Orchard 

Planted in Tapping Way park in November 2024, funded through the King’s Coronation Fund. Improvements to come by adding more wild flowers. 

Blackbades Boulevard Wildflower Project 

These beautiful flowers were planted as part of a project to enhance an area on Blackbades Boulevard - which was previously made up of mainly grasses, weeds and a lot of nettles.  Local residents wanted to do something to improve the area, and put out a call for volunteers to clear the ground and then sow wildflower seeds. The response was amazing and the volunteers have formed a warm, friendly group – evidenced by 17 attending a wonderful communal barbeque in July, where again everybody mucked in. We have had a number of volunteer sessions over the past year or so and this year the results have been stunning, and enjoyed by so many residents. They have also helped provide diverse habitat for the insect population, and the array of bees, butterflies and moths in that area is wonderful to see and hear. Thank you to all the volunteers that have worked so hard, and also Warwick District Council Green Spaces Team who are supporting us in our endeavours.

Hedge Laying Update 

The District Council laid another long length of hedge near Bromhurst Way. The Community Gardeners planted climbers that were supplied by the Council.  These were honeysuckle, hops and perennial sweet pea. 2 nearby residents kindly did a lot of watering to get them established. Thanks to them for that essential aftercare.
