SNOW may still be on the ground, but a college is already looking ahead to spring by launching a new gardening club.

East Durham College will begin the club at its Houghall campus, near Durham City, on Wednesday, April 10, with two-hour sessions between 10am and noon taking place over the next ten weeks.

The course will look at pruning, growing plants and vegetables, hanging baskets, soft fruit and more.

The course will cost £155 for ten weeks. For more information, call tutor Dave Scott on 0191-375-4710.
