Principles met

  • Maximising social value

Recognising its potential as a vibrant community space, residents have come together with a shared mission: to rejuvenate an area of Coventry Close, a residential street in the heart of Stevenage, into a welcoming gathering area with a flourishing garden, ripe with fruit trees, vegetable plots, and bulbs providing early spring flowers.

The focus has been on creating an inviting community space that encourages social interaction, outdoor activities, and a sense of belonging whilst also being beneficial for local wildlife and pollinators, planted with a changing climate in mind.

Residents were keen to have a garden area where they could grow fresh fruit and vegetables, fostering sustainability and healthy living and enhancing the space’s aesthetic appeal. For the younger generation, it also provides a safe and engaging environment to play whilst learning about gardening and connecting with nature.

Coventry Close before the works
