About
Mitchell’s Nursery & Greenhouse
Mitchell’s Nursery & Greenhouse was started by Judy and Jim Mitchell in 1979 on an extra lot beside their house. Jim and Judy both graduated from North Carolina State University with a BS in horticulture, where they had courses related to landscape design and maintaining a nursery and greenhouse. Judy also is a Certified Plant Professional.
In 1993, the Mitchells moved the growing nursery to the present location on Dalton Road. The first greenhouse was added in 1996. In 2001, after working in a large greenhouse operation in Raleigh, their son, Jay, came back to help with the family business.
Since then, they have added 13 more greenhouse bays, three of which were added for the spring 2019 growing season. The last 10 are gutter connected, to save energy. In the summer of 2008, they also installed an energy curtain to conserve more heat. Seven are watered with drip irrigation to conserve water and have rolling benches to grow more in less space.
A new piece of property was purchased down the road from their retail area. It was graded to accommodate new tree and shrub beds and as an area for newly potted plants to grow until they are ready for sale in their retail area.

Testimonials
The nursery has the most beautiful poinsettias and the largest varieties I have ever seen!
Knowledgeable people! Wonderful place to buy live plants! Great selection, homegrown in most instances, some hybrid plants that owner has propagated (beautiful and ingenious color mixtures)!
Stopped by Mitchell’s for the first time and believe I just found a hidden secret in the Piedmont. Wow! Beautiful nursery, great selections of trees/shrubs (best around), and prices were very reasonable. Judy personally took care of everything I needed. 100% worth the drive from Winston-Salem/Clemmons.
