 “We’re delighted to welcome the neighborhood to visit our new greenhouse location! Stop by, and pick up some lovely fall mums,” said Sharon Letson, director of CityScape. “We will also have Rocky Ridge maple syrup and Youngstown notecards for sale.”

On Friday, the Youngstown City Health District also will be on-site at South Portland Avenue during the Land Bank rummage sale to offer walk-up COVID-19 vaccines to the general public, no appointments necessary. There also will be a pop-up Little Free Library both days.
