Vendors and Ongoing Activities
Tansy Recycling:
Unabandoned Farm: Unabandoned is an urban permaculture farm located in the heart of Youngstown’s Southside. Hundreds of plant species 
including medicinals, edibles, and ornamentals, coexist in the space. The city lots that gave rise to the Unabandoned gardens were once abandoned and desolate. Now, they are rich with diversity and life. The plants grown here are incorporated into tea blends, tinctures, salves, oils, and more. The garden has become a gathering place in the city for education, communication, and traditions. Art and expression is woven into our lives, we love to share it with you all.
Kelly’s Working Well Farm: jams, herbal salves, soaps, garden arts and crafts
Chagrin Valley Learning Collective: Join CVLC for an all-day, collaborative weaving installation. BYO weaving materials or use beautiful flowers and natural supplies from the farm. Additional crafts will be available throughout the day.
