ROSSENDALE Council and Accrington and Rossendale College are hoping to establish a base in Stubbylee Park, Bacup, to provide horticultural training for students and the community.
They are looking at the possibility of using part of the existing greenhouses and to establish training facilities.
As part of the council's 'Waste Not Want Not' project demonstration, composting areas will be established as part of the 'Green, Clean and Safe Vision.'
Disabled facilities will be provided and it is hoped that courses could be organised for the community on hanging baskets and window boxes to encourage 'Rossendale in Bloom.
The council is currently working with the college and Groundwork to secure funding for the project.
