An area of scrub land around St Gluvias Church Hall in Penryn is set to be transformed into a green space to enjoy.
Olive Branch Community, which runs a weekly cafe in the town, is behind the project.
On Monday it is holding the first gardening work day from 10am for anyone who wishes to get involved.
In the long run the plan is develop some of the land as a community food growing space and may even include turning the old sub station into a recreational area.
A spokesman for the project said:"Even if you can't get involved in the physical digging, you might want to grow seeds to plant up or if you have any ideas."
Anyone attending on Monday is asked to take along any equipment they can, such as gloves or tools, spades, secators, although some tools will be provided.
