THE GARDENERS' HOUSE - PENZANCE

We will establish and run a new Green Community Hub for West Cornwall, situated at the heart of the historic Morrab Gardens and the town of Penzance, with 3 key focus areas: Community Wellbeing, Garden history and legacy, and Sustainability. We will address social issues through green heritage and education, and will equip our community with a better understanding of meeting the climate crisis.
