Senior living congregate apartments are an industry now with three branches: independent living (nothing to do with disability), assisted living and memory care.

COVENTRY â At the former site of a beloved local garden center, a new family-run business has planted roots. Â
Fairview Gardens on Friday officially opened its doors at 429 Fairview Avenue, where, until last year, Budzieâs Nursery had been selling homegrown flowers and veggies since 1961.Â
After 60 growing seasons at the location, Budzieâs left Coventry in the fall to consolidate operations to its farm in New York. Hundreds of comments on a Facebook post announcing that decision depict fond memories of exploring the greenhouses and browsing for pumpkins and holiday greenery at what one person called a âCoventry landmark.â
While there are certainly similarities between Budzieâs and the new nursery and garden center, Fairview Garden will no doubt create its own legacy within the town. Â
