Sponsors
Local businesses take pride in supporting the Nottingham in Bloom campaign and helping to improve the city. A range of opportunities from hanging basket sponsorship to the popular traffic island sponsorship are available.
Tree sponsorship – cost from about £250 plus VAT
A chance to sponsor a tree in one of Nottingham’s parks and open spaces.
The cost is from about £250, including maintenance for the first three years.
There are also opportunities for businesses to sponsor areas of new woodland, and to get involved in a practical way by helping to plant the saplings. Please call for more information.
The first business to sponsor a tree is translation company AST Language Services Ltd. Managing Director Andrew Schlich helped plant the Giant Redwood at the Arboretum and is working with Nottingham in Bloom to encourage more businesses to follow suit. He has set up a website, www.treesfornottingham.org to raise awareness of the importance of trees in the urban landscape and to encourage more tree-planting in Nottingham, with more varieties in more varied locations.
Bulwell Bogs
Bulwell Bogs is a small busy park in a prime location, adjoining a busy road close to Bulwell’s thriving shopping centre, tram stop, train station and bus station. It is popular with the local community and also attracts visitors from further afield.
The park was renovated in 2003 and is aiming to win its fifth consecutive ‘Green Flag’ award this year. It already has play areas, seating and a paddling pool and is now in line to receive more funding for a water park feature. The park has the strong support of the ‘Friends of Bulwell Bogs’ community group and produces a newsletter for local distribution twice a year.
Local businesses are invited to support the ongoing improvements while raising their company’s profile through sponsorship of two separate areas:
- The Promenade: a well-used area alongside the River Leen featuring a number of flowerbeds and borders.
- The ornamental well and flowerbeds around the landmark ‘bull’ feature.
Sponsorship of each area is available at £1,500 plus VAT per year, including two signs with company branding. More details are available from Julie Walker, Nottingham in Bloom Partnership Manager, on 0115 915 2745.
