2024 Garden Fair Vendors

Listed below are the 38 vendors and non-profit organizations participating in this year’s Garden Fair. In addition to shopping for plants and plant related items, patrons can purchase houseplant starts from Master Gardeners and learn about topics from invasive plants to urban greenspaces. Enjoy lunch at the Garden Thyme Cafe and bring the family to make a wildflower seedpod at the Family Activity booth.

We look forward to seeing old and new friends at Switchyard Park Pavilion, Apirl 13, from 9 am to 4 pm. Arrive early to be one of the first 400 attendees and have a chance to get a free buttonbush seedling!
