FOREST gardening will be the subject of a talk at Glusburn this month.

Pippa Chapman is guest speaker at a meeting of Glusburn & Cross Hills Gardening Society.

Anyone is welcome to attend the event – at Glusburn Community and Arts Centre, Colne Road, on Friday January 20, 7.30pm.

Derek Blackwell, for the society, says: "Pippa has recently had a book – The Plant Lover's Backyard Forest Garden – published, containing a wealth of knowledge about creating stunning multi-layered food forests in spaces big and small.

"She will be sharing useful tips on everything from seed propagation to producing healthy low-maintenance food, and along the way adding beautiful flowers for pollinators and the home."
