A YEAR Under Glass is the title of the next talk hosted by Glusburn and Cross Hills Gardening Society.

John Smiles will take people through his year, including propogation, growing on, taking cuttings, and taking plants to maturity.

A spokesman said: “Whilst the focus is on growing under glass there will no doubt be much for those without a greenhouse to learn too!

“John has an extensive background in gardening, farming and as a judge for the National Vegetable Society for over 30 years."

The talk is that Glusburn Institute, village’s community and arts centre, on Friday, January 19 at 7.30pm.

Non-members pay £4 for the talk and coffee and biscuits.
