FlytrapCare Carnivorous Plant Forums

Hey.

Anyone know some good nurseries near Winston-Salem or Greensboro NC?

Thanks!

Blue ridge exotics is in Asheville, not that far away. Normal mail is next day for me so no shock at all.

Stanley-Rehder reserve.

Thanks. We went before. This time we are passing through I'd like to visit some nurseries.

Yeah, not really. It's 200 miles and a 3-hour drive southeast of Greensboro.

Offhand, I don't know of any carnivorous plant nurseries in that area that are open to the public.

Michael Sprouse is in Cooleemee, about 35 miles southwest of Winston-Salem. He has a big Sarracenia collection. You'd have to contact him to see if he's open to visitors (pm'ed you his e-mail address).

The North Carolina Botanical Garden at UNC - Chapel Hill has a nice carnivorous plant section, but that's a bit east of your destination.

I used to be an OTR truck driver, 3 hours is a jaunt, and definitely within reason.
However, Blue Ridge Exotics is a contender, and I happen to have a hybrid developed by Michael Sprouse, so that is another definite source.
My suggestion would be the Sprouse path if available.

Green Swamp Preserve is AMAZING! It's about a 3 1/2 hour drive from Winston-Salem. Green Swamp is only an hour-ish away from Stanely-rehder gardens and the Carolina Beach State Park. Carolina Beach has a Flytrap Trail with some VFTs, Drosera, and sarrs. Carolina Beach was only like 5 minutes from where I stayed in NC so I could go see it whenever I wanted!

Found two local nurseries in Ashville that Flytrap King sells to. First stop had some beautiful plants.
