Derelict areas are given their own space in the exhibition emphasizing the importance of brownfield sites as habitats for bugs in the city and inviting visitors to take a walk on the wilder side of city life.
Rapidly becoming the latest must-have accessory for the urbanite, the benefits of cultivating an allotment will be on show, inside one of Pennine Lancashire's Chic Sheds.
Information will be made available showing the easiest vegetables to grow in the city (beans come out on top, with cut-and-come-again lettuce, peppers, potatoes, shallots, sorrel, spinach and tomatoes).
There will be workshops for adults and for children with experts on hand to give general gardening tips as well as tips on how to be green with a capital 'G'.
Experts will offer views of how towns and cities will look in the future and how gardens and wildlife will creep into concrete landscapes. The impact of climate change and issues of sustainability will run through the exhibition, tackling the effects of urban sprawl on the ecology of our cities.
