Green Acres hosts 'Extraordinary Houseplant Event' in Citrus Heights

On Saturday, Jan. 25, Green Acres Nursery & Supply will host “An Extraordinary Houseplant Event” at its Citrus Heights nursery.

“Shop a curated collection of unique houseplants perfect for the houseplant enthusiast, collector, or novice,” says Green Acres. “Take advantage of Event-Day Hot Buys! Discover rare houseplants that you don’t find every day. Get creative with our CREATE Classes happening from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m.

"Be inspired by houseplant groupings to build your indoor jungle. Shop our home+grown collection and select something special for yourself or someone you love.”

In addition, it’s a great opportunity to ask questions and get expert advice from Green Acres’ houseplant gurus.

Throughout the event, Green Acres will host three hands-on workshops. No advance registration is required. The CREATE Classes include:

– Make a Kokedama ($15): Learn this traditional Japanese technique that “transforms plants into living art. Wrap the plant’s rootball in moss and bonsai soil, securing it with twine. Join us for a creative and unique potting experience,” say the organizers.

– Copper plant support ($5): “We guide you in shaping the wire into a monstera leaf,” says Green Acres. “You’ll leave with a stylish, sturdy, and rust-resistant plant support that will help keep your plant babies upright.”

– Pot-up Station (prices vary): “We’re offering custom pot-ups all day at our planting bar! Choose your plants, and we’ll create the perfect arrangement for you – whether in a pot or a terrarium.”

Hours for this special event are 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday. Green Acres is located at 6128 San Juan Ave., Citrus Heights.
