This year, the Bangor Public Library is bringing back their annual seed swap event where you can request to get various kinds of seeds to add to your garden. This event has already begun and will go into April as determined by their supplies.
The library is also teaming up the University of Maine Cooperative Extension and Lowe's to bring this event to the Bangor area.
