Gardeners’ House
The Gardeners’ House is dedicated to celebrating the unique stories of West Cornwall, creating a welcoming space for our community to connect with us and the spaces around us.
We are here for the people of Penzance, bringing together the threads of the past, present and future of our part of Cornwall.

We have created a welcoming space for the community to enjoy, with a varied and exciting programme of workshops and events throughout the year – often taking inspiration from the landscape of West Cornwall and the stories of our community.
The Gardeners’ House is also home to a living archive – a collection of artefacts and books which holds those stories and documents our landscape, and which we will continue to grow.
You can find out more about the work of Sustainable Penzance, based in the Gardeners’ House, and you can also visit our peaceful sensory garden. At our beautifully-restored building in Morrab Gardens, we are building a place where people can come together.
Support Us
You can help the Gardeners’ House continue our work in many ways. Every word of support, every volunteer hour, purchase or donation helps us to continue to connect with the people of West Cornwall, sharing our love of the landscape and stories around us.
From attending events to volunteering your time, from a charitable donation to telling your friends about your experience, we are grateful for the kindness and support.
