Spring Clean Days
The Spring Clean Days are at the core of the Falmouth Spring Festival, which has engaged with hundreds of volunteers including school children, local businesses, staff and students from the universities and residents. Over the years with support from Falmouth Town Council and Cormac’s Parks and Gardens team, we’ve undertaken landscaping, litter removal and planting activities in dozens of areas around the town, sprucing up forgotten corners to colourful and award-winning effect. Want to volunteer? Beach cleaning, painting, gardening – you name it we’ll be doing it. So, if you’d like to come along and get your hands dirty for a good cause, please get in touch!!!
