- As promised a fun garden center visit with lots of beautiful flowers to enjoy. This is a long one but I cut out about half of it! It was a perfect way to spend a rainy day, even if I did get a little wet.
Hi, I am Pamela and I garden in the mountains of Northern California. I am in Zone 8. I defy convention and break many garden 'rules' yet my garden is a tapestry of color and unruly beauty! I want you to be inspired to create a beautiful garden.

Thanks for stopping by! We enjoyed seeing your view of the nursery. Happy planting 😁🌱🌱
It was all my pleasure and I will be back as I am still looking for Dragon Fruit Sunblaze rose!
I planted a climbing rose called William Baffin a couple of years ago but I have not trellised it yet and it has survived -10F. It's very cold hardy.
I love William Baffin, I had it several years ago. I had to dig it out as it looked like it had gotten rose rosette disease. It was such a hardy vigorous climber and it bloomed so beautifully. I have yet to replace it.
We planted four David Austin Roses this morning before the rain. We get lost at Green Acres. Don’t mind driving from Contra Costa County. We love their nursery.
I love David Austin roses, 4 new ones sounds lovely. Yes it is well worth the drive just for a flower fix for me.
Yes Janey and her daughter's were here yesterday. They got all the stuff to make the girl's their fairy garden. I turned out so cute and also her oldest daughter wrote a story that fit the fairy garden perfect. It was a wonderful little story, gave me a few cold chills. Thank you so much for sharing this with us. Great video. I know that you and Janey are friends. That's why I mentioned her.❤
I am sure they loved it! They have so much in the fairy garden department. I can't remember if I cut that portion out of my video or not, it was over an hour long before I edited it!@@judyingram-kh1vm
I never knew lily pollen would damage cats kidneys! You always teach me
Yes, it is quite deadly for them, the tiniest bit can do a lot of damage.
Hi Pamela. I'm in Sacramento and I really REALLY appreciate you showing us what's in the store so I don't have to go. Thank you!
You are so welcome. It is probably safer that way!
Love green acres! There’s one about 5 minutes from my house in Citrus Heights. My husband goes crazy with the fruit trees and vegetable plants, I buy the flower plants. I’m not sure if they still have this policy but a few years ago I bought a couple of Japanese maples, one didn’t make it. They said to hold on to your receipt up to a year they give you your $ back. They did I got my $200 back. If you can, take a trip to High Hand Nursery in Loomis and Bushnell’s in Granite Bay.
I love the Hign Hand Nursery in Loomis but it has been awhile since I have been there, thank you for the reminder. I have not been to Bushnell's in Granite Bay, I will definitely check that one out. Thank you for the tip!
Thank you for highlighting some items inside. When I'm at Green Acres I'm always bee-lining to the outdoors. I'll have to stop at the bulbs and seeds next time I go. My local GA is Folsom but it's on my list to vist Elk Grove and Rocklin.
I haven't visited the Folsom one yet, I am sure it is lovely. They had a great selection of bulbs so I was in good time and they let me know more roses will be in next month. Different growers release them at different times. So a trip back is in order for the Sun Blaze Dragon Fruit on my wishlist.
I am in Sacramento. LOVVEEE green acres. Went this weekend!
I'll bet it was gorgeous, it was such a lovely sunny weekend!
Yay!! That was so fun!! Thank you for taking us 😁🌱❤️
Any time!
I had Angel face it gets blackspot horribly. The flowers were pretty. Earth Angel is a must try at the least. I’ve grown it in zone 7 in Oklahoma and now have it in Florida. It’s beautiful and pretty disease resistant.
Good to know, thank you!
That was fun 😊thank you for taking us along on your garden shopping.
You are so welcome!
I live in the area so this video was soooo helpful!
I'm so glad! Be careful, once they suck you in you will always want to go. I enjoy walking through even if I don't have an objective, being among all the plants is so therapeutic for me!
Thanks for the tour! I’m so ready for spring! It helped me get a spring flower fix a bit!
It helped me too and I hoped it did the same for others so thank you for letting me know!
🎉That has got to be the most awesome garden center ever. I don't have anything like that where I live. Thanks for the tour and inspiration !!😊 Happy gardening season 2024!! I think everyone is getting geared up and excited.🎉
You know it, we are all getting ready and trying hard not to rush it. I go through this every year since I can't plant out until nearly June I get really antsy!
It is the best!! I go there wayyyy too often.
Oooh, I love Grounds! I haven't been in many years. I didn't know that about lily pollen being poisonous to cats. Thanks for letting us know.
I love Grounds for breakfast. The tomato pesto scramble is my fave!
Grounds in Murphy,s! One of our favorite places to eat when are up there, aaaaaand my Green Acres!? You most likely drove by my hose friend. I’m hitting Green Acres this weekend when we have some dry days! 🌷🌺🌷🌺🎉
It is supposed to be nice this weekend, 69 degrees there with partly cloudy skies, enjoy! Grounds is always a great place to eat, we love the back patio in summer. Living so close to Green Acres would be hazardous for me!
Love love love Green Acres
I have visited a few of them and the Elk Grove one is my favorite, so far.
Have you been to the one in FOLSOM?
Thank you so much for taking us on a tour of the garden center. It was so nice to see all the beautiful flowers & yard art. Unfortunately it’s still too cold here in Sturgeon Bay Wisconsin for us to buy our flowers. We are enjoying winter sowing though! Thanks again for the tour. Such a beautiful place!
You are so welcome! It is too early for me to plant as well, that is why I was so judicious in what I bought. All my purchases will be potted up and left in my greenhouse until warmer weather arrives. It is so nice to be able to leave the snowy surroundings of home and walk through so much in bloom.
Loved this nursery! I would’ve chosen the orange calla lilies too! Reminds me of a sunset!
They just kept drawing my eye. A sunset is a great way to describe them!
Good morning Pamela! Great tour! What a fun day 👏🏻🥰 one of these days, I'm going to have to take the trip out to Oak Grove. It's only an hour and half! Lol 😂
Love your restraint; I have a hard time with that.
Let me tell you, it was tough but part of the reason is I can't really put many things out quite yet, even the cold hardy ones and I can look forward to going back. Plus I have so many seeds to start, I tell myself to keep it manageable!
I look forward to seeing everything you got 😊
Coming soon!
I want that store in Massachusetts! I always gravitate to the pansies & violas too. I learned about the lily pollen being poisonous to cats last yr. I repositioned where my lilies are this yr away from where my cat hangs. I also read you can cut the pollen sacks off. I think I will do that this yr. I only have about 20, so not much work. My cats my garden buddy & my Husband loves the lilies, so I strive make everyone happy.
Yes, thank you for mentioning that about cutting them off, I do that too. I need to let everyone know that is a good option!
Wow! What a fabulous nursery! Thanks for the armchair shop! Did you get the several roses I pointed at?😂😂
I have several extra houseplants now also with an incorrect shipment. I have 2 Christmas cactus and an orchid and that’s my limit and these others are too much.
Absolutely the same about Orange mixed with pink anything! I’m mixing in baby’s breath and it’s amazing how that sets everything off. So dreamy.
I have the Ebb Tide and Julia Child as I loved the contrast and they are own root. At least if they do die back they will come back true. This will be second year and hoping for fantastic year.
Now I’ve always heard calla Lillie’s were funeral flowers, but I suppose they use more glads now.
Just seen local article about skiers found 1100’ elevation with trees that still had snow and shore line is 500’ and no snow. It’s really hot here for this time of year-60*F on February 21st in WI is Weird and for weeks at a time it’s been more late March April temperatures. 😮
I don’t believe we have anything in our stores yet, but who knows with these temps. I know we can’t plant for a long ways out yet-at least normally. But what’s normal anymore? It’s a huge chance until June 1st.
Yes, this year is definitely so strange. Last year we had 6 feet of snow on the ground at this time. This year, we got a dusting last night but all rain. (which I am thankful for). I must confess, buying plants is my addiction, but in my defense, I am slowly trying to replace the tons of asiatic lilies the gophers decimated. They were so reliable for me in the past.
@@FlowerPatchFarmhouse yes, that’s upsetting to lose plants to rodents and wildlife. Love asiatics and long time ago I had a yellow lily with fragrance and don’t know the name, but very nice.
Angel Face rose a disease magnet. However, Rhapsody in Blue is incredible--easy to grow and super fragrant! Watch out with the horseradish. It's a spreader. Fun shopping day.
I passed on the horseradish (thanks for the heads up) but would like to try it, I wonder how it would do in a container...
Hello there dear flower patch lady, oh my goodness, i wasn't sure what to comment on first 😊, so many beautiful flower s,seeds plants, hmmmm!.i really hsve to admit thst i love orange flowers, my neighbour s hsve a really lovely big orange rose a climbing rose ,it does beautiful every year, i would love a cutting but may try to find it in garden centre, they do not know the name of it,oh its a delightful time wondering around there with you,,yes goodness me too,where ever i go i seem to see some sort of chicken and its like a magnet to me,.just look a t zll those beautiful colourful flowers all over,i get a bit dizzy with excitement. Oh my yes pansies they are like little children in a choir all cheerful looking up at us.i sas this week in my tiny little co op store just up my road, a hanging basket full of pansies, they were 8pounds in money, i really wished i had got one,they were gone by yesterday, never mind,,im sure that they are being enjoyed by someone 😊. There will be more, i csn buy some snd fill my own basket. Oh my goodness its enormous there my eyess are watching but zlso wondering like aladins cave,.i remember you mentioned about a rose plant being gobbled 😮, i think you mean the leaves, i wanted to say thst i hsve a small dark pink climbing one and i have 2 of them one just keeps having all her leaves eaten and its awful naked looking when it happens. I feel sure its a tiny weenie caterpillar that's doing it,,what is it that eats yours?.yes i here those beautiful little birds .one sounds like our blackbirds.,im loving our trip around there with you,thankyou so much. I hope you s nd your husband got a treat whilst out getting your garden centre treat s also..cant wait to see your items later, take good care, bless you,hi to the dear garden girls also, from me and my garden girls 🐔.,xx
The rose sawfly larvae are notorious rose leaf eaters so it may be that. We did have a wonderful day and I will record all my goodies today when I seed my salvia. Aladdins Cave is a great way to describe discovering all the wonders of this garden center.
I live in the valley I Turlock, and fir the life of me I cannot figure out where on earth in Contra costa county you live that gets snow, and has pine trees and ferns grow like weeds. I used to work in Pleasant Hill which is in CC County and never saw any of that. Obviously there is an area that I did not know was CCCounty. From your weather you’ve mentioned I would have guessed you were in the foothills
That is because I am in Calaveras County in the mountains. Thankfully the big snow has only dropped a few inches as opposed to the 3 feet they were predicting. I am so happy about that. It probably all landed somewhere else which is fine by me!
I don't have much luck with hybrid teas either but sweet mademoiselle is a must on my list. That and Dee-Lish are one of very few hybrid teas that haven't met my shovel yet.
Funny how certain types of roses do well in different areas. Goes to show, if you pick the right ones, just about anybody can grow roses. Though I know some in parts of the country battle Japanese Beetles and have given up as they seem to love roses.
I grew my horseradish from a grocery store root I got for under $2.
great to know. I may get some to plant up on a pot.
Im in 10a southern California. Nice garden center.
It is a great one, I enjoy it so much. Their prices are quite good as well.
I wish we had one here in indiana
I know, one went in, in Texas recently. Maybe they will expand but of course the offerings are based on the climate of the central valley of California, which has mild winters. That is why I have to be choosey about my choices and know what will take the rest of my much colder winter.
Is the Lilly pollen toxic to dogs as well?
It seems all parts of the lilies are toxic to dogs so if you have a critter that will eat them thing be cautious. What I can't figure out is if they are so toxic, why the gophers gobble them up with impunity???
Angelface rose is a floribunda rose
I must have been thinking about Earth Angel.
@@FlowerPatchFarmhouse I've had it in one of my previous gardens for years very reliable and beautiful with it's purple ruffled edges but I did not have the tree form
Were are you located
I am in the mountains of Northern California.
If Green acres were in my area I don’t know if I could walk out of there without having to take a loan out on my house so I could have enough money to buy EVERYTHING I would want. 🤣❄️🫠💚🙃
That is a very real problem! I know, I feel the same. But I piece meal it, knowing I can go back when I feel like it keeps me in check!
