The Linwood Community Library is hosting its annual plant and garden exchange Saturday.

This popular event is outdoors, weather permitting. Anyone who would like to donate any plant or garden-related item can bring it to the library anytime between 11 a.m. and 6 p.m. Friday. If you donate, you get first dibs at viewing what’s available at the event from 10-11 a.m. Saturday. After 11 a.m. anyone can attend the exchange.

Everything is free to a good home. You never know what will be available, but in the past the library has been able to offer seeds, vegetables, perennials, herbs, house plants, pots and more.

The exchange will run until 2 p.m.
