Mid-Valley Home Show 2012
We thank all of you that joined us at this year’s HBA 35th Annual Mid-Valley Home Show in January. The attendance was spectacular!
People told us they were interested in outdoor living space in their backyard, so that was our focus. We displayed the most recent pavers manufactured by Belgard, showcased a gas firepit constructed with masonry, and built hand stacked walls out of manufactured block as well as natural stone. We also exhibited a column rock water feature that offers that perfect sound for small areas and presented LED outdoor lighting, which conserves power. Of course, we were not short of a variety of trees, shrubs and plants.
A lot of people stopped by and we enjoyed visiting with old friends and new acquaintances. Thanks again for supporting Green Acres and we look forward to seeing everyone at next year’s show!
Boys & Girls Aid Gala Of Trees 2011
Thank you to everyone that got in the holiday spirit and supported children in our community! Family and friends gathered on Friday, December 2 for the 2011 Gala Of Trees. There were cocktails, appetizers, fellowship and a silent and a live auction of holiday trees. The evening ended with dinner and a live auction of full-size, wonderfully decorated trees.
Green Acres’ self-decorated tree, Sustainability Never Looked So Good, was auctioned during the live auction. Boys & Girls Aid supplied the tree and 1000 white lights. Green Acres provided all additional decorations. The tree included one year of landscape maintenance, valued at $1500. Our tree was purchased by Scott and Anne Marie for $1,800! Thank you Scott and Anne!
Proceeds benefit Boys & Girls Aid and children served in Marion & Polk counties. Green Acres was happy to sponsor a tree at the Gala of Trees and we thank all of you that joined us in supporting our children.

Relay For Life
We thank the business community for joining Green Acres Landscape and Valley Credit Union to ensure that this year’s American Cancer Society Relay For Life in Salem was a success. Many in the community donated time and money to this worthy cause. It would not have been possible to have this event without such generosity. Thank you for your personal commitments and contributions to Relay For Life.
We appreciate your dedication to such a commendable cause and we look forward to seeing everyone at next year’s event!
Extreme Makeover': TV show arrives with help for Oregon School for the Deaf -2010
Green Acres Landscape and other local companies worked together to overhaul the setting, and all within a 24-hour period. It was a worthy cause, as well as quite a challenge, that both companies and volunteers embraced full-heartedly. All gave their finest effort to the EMHE designers with the shared purpose to provide OSD students with a brilliant, peaceful landscape to enjoy. Many came together to lend a hand and we thank each one for your time, dedication and support. We definitely could not have done it without you.
Oregon State Fair Paver Walkway Donation 2010
The snapshot to the left is of an arbel paver patio that Green Acres Landscape donated to the Oregon State Fair. It has accent boulders and native plants that require low maintenance and minimal water usage.
We were also happy to donate a paver rest and seating area for fairgoers. It was perfectly positioned by the chairlift and, more importantly, in the shade!
