Community Garden
Both the Bangor (UCB) and Augusta campuses have community gardens. The Augusta garden grows flowers that are used around the campus, while the Bangor campus grows an organic vegetable garden.
The UCB community garden is located behind Bangor Hall and has tomatoes, peas, cucumbers, beets, pumpkins, and a variety of other vegetables and herbs. All students, staff, and faculty are invited to help with the garden, and at harvest time all who have helped will share in the bounty of fresh, organic vegetables that we raise. Excess vegetables will be sold on campus to raise money for next year's garden, and some of it will also be donated to a local food pantry.
