History

Established in 1979.

Mitchell’s Nursery and 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 BS in horticulture, where they had courses in landscape design, as well as nursery and greenhouse courses. Judy also is a Certified Plant Professional. In 1993 the Mitchell’s moved the growing nursery to the present location on Dalton Rd. The first greenhouse was added in 1996. Since then they have added 11 more greenhouse bays, and tore down the first 2. The last 7 are gutter connected, which saves energy. In the summer of 2008 they also installed an energy curtain to conserve more heat. These last seven are watered with drip irrigation to conserve water and have rolling benches to grow more in less space. In 2001, after working in a large greenhouse operation in Raleigh, their son, Jay, came back to help with the growing family business.
