It’s official: Green Acres’ Roseville store has moved!
In time for holiday shopping and cool-season gardening, Green Acres Nursery & Supply opened its new Roseville location at 7300 Galilee Road and shut the doors on its longtime Galleria Boulevard nursery.
After welcoming a few customers Thursday, staff opened today (Friday, Nov. 18) for their first full day of business at the new garden store and nursery. They expect a crowd this weekend for what will be a “soft opening.”
Thursday also was the final day of business for the old Roseville store, opened by Green Acres in 2003. A former transfer station, that store always had a shortage of parking and overall space. The first of Green Acres’ seven stores, the Galleria location was outgrown by the Sacramento-based family-owned company.
The Roseville move has been years in the making. Finally, on Nov. 2 the movers relocated Green Acres’ iconic water tower to the new nursery. Plants and other merchandise followed. Now the new store is ready to welcome the public.
“Our team at Green Acres Nursery & Supply is eternally grateful for the support of the Roseville community,” says Green Acres spokesperson Tami Kint. “When we set roots in Roseville, we had no idea what was to come. We’re still adding the finishing touches and we are very excited to offer our Roseville community the best of what we have to offer.”
A “grand opening” is expected in Spring 2023 in time for the company’s 20th anniversary.
Meanwhile, check out the new Roseville nursery in person or online. Green Acres posted video and photos on its Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/idiggreenacres.

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.
