EXPERT gardeners' tips and tricks are to be offered to local people on special council courses.

Lancaster City Council is launching the classes to be run by Myerscough College at its White Lund plant and training centre in Morecambe.

A course called Amateur Gardening' will start on January 22 and run for 10 weeks, a Hanging Baskets' course starts on Wednesday, April 30, and there are plans for one-day hanging basket and propagation courses in May.

For details and to reserve a place on any course, call Lynne Jones on 01995-642255.
