All Your Gardening Supplies:

Green Acres Nursery & Supply is a local, family-owned plant nursery that opened in 2003. It currently has three locations and is gearing up to open the fourth in Elk Grove next year. As eating locally has become a growing movement, the popularity of edible plants has greatly increased. “People want to know what they’re eating and keep it organic,” says Kellie Natoli, a marketing specialist at Green Acres. “Anything edible has been very popular, including fruit trees, berry vines, blueberries, vegetables and herbs.” Green Acres also sells high-quality organic soils and fertilizers, tools and pretty much anything else you need to grow your own garden. As of 2012, the Folsom location offers outdoor furniture and grills. Location: 205 Serpa Way, Folsom, 916-358-9099, idiggreenacres.com

Michele at Country Elegance

An Eclectic Mix:

Stoves, Décor, clothing, candles, gifts and more! Though it started as a wood, gas, fireplace and stove store in 1987, Country Elegance has grown to be a top destination for home décor. “We decided to add unique home décor to make it more pretty,” says owner Michele. “And it exploded! Twenty-seven years later, we’re still selling stoves and fireplaces, which is our bread and butter, and that allows me to have the rest of the store with décor, women’s clothing and accessories.” A popular item is Cake candles that come in a variety of yummy, delicious-smelling scents. They are long-burning and highly scented, she says. Many of the items in the store make for great gifts, which is why it also offers complimentary gift wrap year-round. Location: 4496 Missouri Flat Road, Placerville, 530-622-9338, countryeleganceplacerville.com.
