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.

– Expanded indoor space with 21,000 square feet for irrigation, landscape supplies, décor and more.

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.
