The Tampa Bay Living Green Market (PLGM) is a specialized, branded area at the St. Petersburg Saturday Morning Market focused on sustainable products, services and education.
This small enclave within the Saturday Morning Market provides a weekly exhibit of sustainable products and information without changing the overall nature of the Market.
About the Market
With 7,000 visitors each week, the market has achieved an extraordinary degree of success since opening in November 2002. It was organized by a group of volunteers who share a vision of creating a strong spirit of community - a place with a colorful upbeat feeling, where you'll find a unique selection of products, and where you shop with vendors that you know by name. Learn more about how the Market become the talk of the town!

Green Exhibitors
We invite vendors and exhibitors offering sustainable products and services to participate in the Saturday Morning Market starting October 4, 2008. Each Saturday morning from October through May, exhibits provide information, ideas, resources, products and motivation to live more sustainably. Place your product, service, or message at this event. You will meet Pinellas County residents who are looking for ways to reduce their environmental impact by adopting more sustainable lifestyles and consumer choices.
Topics
Exhibitors must offer products, services or information about reducing environmental impacts in one or more of the following areas:
- Transportation
- Energy
- Home building and remodeling
- Yard and garden and irrigation
- Recreation and leisure
- Household products and practices

Frequency Guidelines
Ideally, exhibitors will participate in the market several times during the 30-week season. The market will stay fresh and interesting, however, by having some new exhibitors each week. Pricing is structured to encourage frequent participation while keeping spaces open for new and different exhibitors each week.

The Pinellas Living Green Screening Committee reviews applications to insure that exhibitors meet the criteria for the participation in the Tampa Bay Living Green Market. The committee also reviews applications for appropriateness.
