City property includes almost 7 acres off Washington Boulevard

Green Acres Nursery & Supply is capping off a very busy 2020 with more big plans.

According to the Sacramento Business Journal, the family-owned nursery chain is working with the City of Roseville to purchase almost 7 acres of city-owned land to build a new nursery and garden center.

On the Dec. 2 agenda for the Roseville City Council, the purchase agreement involves a site on Galilee Road at the corner of Washington Boulevard and Industrial Avenue. The site is next to the Roseville DMV and across Washington Boulevard from Buljan Middle School.

According to the agenda item, Green Acres will pay $1.6 million for the land, and will build a 30,000-square-foot building with 23,000 square feet of retail space. In addition, the plans call for an 18,000-square-foot greenhouse, a large outdoor display area and 250 parking spaces.

Green Acres currently has a nursery in Roseville on Galleria Boulevard, but that site is leased. According to SBJ, Green Acres has another five years on that lease. However, that site is being considered for redevelopment as part of a retail and restaurant complex by its owner.

The new site would be custom-built for Green Acres’ needs as a nursery, garden and outdoor living center as well as offer more parking.

Riding a current boom in gardening interest, Green Acres recently announced its expansion to six nurseries with a new nursery to open in Citrus Heights on San Juan Avenue in spring 2021. Green Acres also purchased Eisley Nursery in Auburn.

Garden Checklist for week of May 5

Survey your garden after the May 4 rainstorm. Heavy rain and gusty winds can break the neck of large flowers such as roses. Also:

* Keep an eye on new transplants or seedlings; they could take a pounding from the rain.

* Watch out for powdery mildew. Warmth following moist conditions can cause this fungal disease to “bloom,” too. If you see a leaf that looks like it’s dusted with powdered sugar, snip it off.

* After the storm, start setting out tomato transplants, but wait on the peppers and eggplants (they want warmer nights). Pinch off any flowers on new transplants to make them concentrate on establishing roots instead of setting premature fruit.

* Trim dead flowers but not leaves from spring-flowering bulbs such as daffodils and tulips. Those leaves gather energy to create next year's flowers. Also, give the bulbs a fertilizer boost after bloom.

* Pinch chrysanthemums back to 12 inches for fall flowers. Cut old stems to the ground.

* Mulch around plants to conserve moisture and control weeds.

* From seed, plant beans, beets, cantaloupes, carrots, corn, cucumbers, melons, pumpkins, radishes and squash.

* Plant onion sets.

* In the flower garden, plant seeds for asters, cosmos, celosia, marigolds, salvia, sunflowers and zinnias. Transplant petunias, zinnias, geraniums and other summer bloomers.

* Plant perennials and dahlia tubers for summer bloom.

* Don’t wait; plant summer bulbs, such as gladiolus and tuberous begonias.

* Harvest cabbage, lettuce, peas and green onions.
