Falmouth’s mayor Geoffrey Evans is applauded by supporters of the Mission to Seafarers, Falmouth, as he plants a tree at Tregullow Gardens.
The sun came out and so did supporters of The Mission to Seafarers, Falmouth, when Tregullow Gardens, at Scorrier, were opened to the public on Bank Holiday Monday.
James and Sarah Williams open their private gardens to the public for charity only once a year and the chosen charity this year was the seafaring charity based in Falmouth Docks.
A record turnout ensured that Falmouth Mission came away almost £1,200 richer, and a tree was planted in honour of the occasion in the gardens by Falmouth’s mayor Geoffrey Evans, a keen supporter of the charity.
The tree, a rare Prince Albert yew (Saxegothia Conspicua) from Chile is one of only three still in existence.
