• Summer of Sunflowers

  Phil Upton wants you to help him spread sunshine across Coventry and Warwickshire.   Get Into Nature by growing sunflowers to create ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ CWR's Summer of Sunflowers – to make it happen we need you to join the Sunflower club!  All you need is a seed, some soil and a pot.  Plant it, watch it grow and tell us how it goes.

  We’re giving away more than 500 seeds and by summer we want to see Coventry and Warwickshire’s front gardens and public places adorned in Sunflowers!

  The question is can you measure up to Upton, he’s 6 foot 1.
