The Sacramento-based, family-owned company is about to open its new location in Roseville. Located at 7300 Galilee Road, the new store will replace the company’s longtime site on Galleria Boulevard.
On Wednesday, the movers relocated Green Acres' landmark water tower to the new nursery. The exact date of the new store’s grand opening is coming soon; the nursery’s owners say “mid-November,” without giving a specific day.
Green Acres had been on Galleria Boulevard for nearly 20 years. A former transfer station, that store always had a shortage of parking and overall space. The new nursery – Green Acres’ seventh – has a lot more room, all designed specifically for plants and gardening. Among the highlights:
– A 14,000-square-foot greenhouse for annuals and perennials.
– A 5,600-square-foot greenhouse for houseplants.
– Nearly 7,000 square feet for shade plants in a lathhouse.
– Expanded indoor space with 21,000 square feet for irrigation, landscape supplies, décor and more.
– An outdoor living department with patio furniture, grills and accessories.
– Acres of outdoor space for trees and shrubs.
– Plus more parking.
"Our team at Green Acres Nursery & Supply is eternally grateful for the support of the Roseville community,” said spokesperson Tami Kint. “When we set roots here, we had no idea what was to come. This move is bittersweet for us, but we are very excited to offer our Roseville community the best of what we have to offer.”

Garden Checklist for week of Nov. 3
November still offers good weather for fall planting:
* If you haven't already, it's time to clean up the remains of summer. Pull faded annuals and vegetables. Prune dead or broken branches from trees.
* Now is the best time to plant most trees and shrubs. This gives them plenty of time for root development before spring growth. They also benefit from fall and winter rains.
* Set out cool-weather annuals such as pansies and snapdragons.
* Lettuce, cabbage and broccoli also can be planted now.
* Plant garlic and onions.
* Keep planting bulbs to spread out your spring bloom. Some possible suggestions: daffodils, crocuses, hyacinths, tulips, anemones and scillas.
* This is also a good time to seed wildflowers and plant such spring bloomers as sweet pea, sweet alyssum and bachelor buttons.
* Rake and compost leaves, but dispose of any diseased plant material. For example, if peach and nectarine trees showed signs of leaf curl this year, clean up under trees and dispose of those leaves instead of composting.
* Save dry stalks and seedpods from poppies and coneflowers for fall bouquets and holiday decorating.
* For holiday blooms indoors, plant paperwhite narcissus bulbs now. Fill a shallow bowl or dish with 2 inches of rocks or pebbles. Place bulbs in the dish with the root end nestled in the rocks. Add water until it just touches the bottom of the bulbs. Place the dish in a sunny window. Add water as needed.
* Give your azaleas, gardenias and camellias a boost with chelated iron.
* For larger blooms, pinch off some camellia buds.
* Prune non-flowering trees and shrubs while dormant.
* To help prevent leaf curl, apply a copper fungicide spray to peach and nectarine trees after they lose their leaves this month. Leaf curl, which shows up in the spring, is caused by a fungus that winters as spores on the limbs and around the tree in fallen leaves. Sprays are most effective now.
