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 July 21
Your garden needs you!
* Keep your vegetable garden watered, mulched and weeded. Water before 8 a.m. to reduce the chance of fungal infection and to conserve moisture.
* Feed vegetable plants bone meal, rock phosphate or other fertilizers high in phosphate to stimulate more blooms and fruiting. (But wait until daily high temperatures drop out of the 100s.)
* Don’t let tomatoes wilt or dry out completely. Give tomatoes a deep watering two to three times a week.
* Harvest vegetables promptly to encourage plants to produce more. Squash especially tends to grow rapidly in hot weather. Keep an eye on zucchini.
* Pinch back chrysanthemums for bushy plants and more flowers in September.
* Remove spent flowers from roses, daylilies and other bloomers as they finish flowering.
* Pinch off blooms from basil so the plant will grow more leaves.
* Cut back lavender after flowering to promote a second bloom.
* It's not too late to add a splash of color. Plant petunias, snapdragons, zinnias and marigolds.
* From seed, plant corn, pumpkins, radishes, winter squash and sunflowers.
