Actually, It looks like we may head that direction next week...does anyone know if they will be open Monday or Tuesday next week? With it being the holiday week, I'd sure love to know before we drive down there! :)
Thanks again!

Maxx, here is their number, you might have to call them:
Broadwell's Nursery
7110 Old Stage Rd N
Angier, NC 27501-7410
(919) 639-2952

I've never been out that way.

Thanks PS. Unfortunately, they don't answer the phone very often. That's why I thought I'd ask here to see if anyone knew.

Well, I don't know the answer. I was hoping someone else might before I jumped in...
I think they are primarily a supplier for landscapers so I would guess they would still be open during the week this time of year. Wish I could tell you for sure since it is kind of in the middle of nowhere. I'd keep trying their number. They aren't very good about answering but occassionally you get lucky. You could also try Old Stage Nursery which is right across the street and a similar operation. (I believe it's run by the Broadwells owners son even). I don't know their number. But maybe between the two of them you will get lucky and have someone answer. Good luck! -Ais.

Thanks guys! My neighbor has removed all of the shrubs lining my fence on his side.(yes, they were on my property, but who's to say who really planted them 20 years ago)..so now my backyard is wide open with no privacy...so off to Broadwells I go...to buy either the leylands or arborvitaes. At this point, it's just what is cheaper and taller. :)

I'm pretty sure they are still open -- I drove by there a few days ago on the way to Coats, and I think there were customers in the parking lot.

Thanks Alicia!

I am planning to go in the near future. I have been told you need a truck and you also need to know what you want and what it looks like. From what I hear nothing is really marked and there are not many people working there to ask.

That said I have also heard they have an incredible selection so much so that you need to drive around looking before you stop and that their prices are really great. I am looking forward to my first trip. Adele

That is true, you do need to be prepared to drive around or walk around ALOT...and it is best to know what you want before you arrive. It's more of a "farm" than a nursery.

Broadwells sells alot of small "starter" plants that you can drive around and pick up. Then when you leave a guy comes and looks in your trunk and gives you the total. Some things I have bought did well others did not.
If you need larger trees (like crepe myrtle) and shrubs (various hollies) you can call that number on say Monday or Tuesday evening about 8 or 9 pm. The guy will take down your order and name. then you are expected to pick them up on the next weekend (or when he tells you to).
I have gotten 6 foot Nellie Stevens hollies down there for $35 (they have done well and were well worth that price).
The thing is no one is there to consult with, you kind of are on your own.
Note that the hollies that I got where probably 200 pounds if they were an ounce so be careful and take a trailer.
Good luck!

sounds like a very unique place to learn about...so glad we finally got this thread going for MAXX and others.

I just want to point out for those who have not been there that it is a great place to get your basic landscaping trees and shrubs. Their prices are fantastic! But this is NOT a garden center and they have very few perennials. Well I don't know if a shrub is a perennial, but I mean they don't carry garden plants as much as landscaping plants. I have gotten lots of stuff from them. I didn't want anyone to head out there expecting to find a good selection of one gallon perennials. I have seen basic hostas and things like that sometimes. But the focus is on landscaping plants, not gardens. Hope that makes sense and doesn't confuse people more. -Ais.

Does anyone know if Broadwell's sells specialty magnolia trees such as Magnolia Yellow Bird, Magnolia Butterflies, Magnolia Golden Gift, Magnolia Sunsation, and Magnolia Jon Jon?
Thanks! Jean

their neighbor across the street, old stage nursery (owned by coy's nephew rob) might, but broadwell's probably wont. they typically have the plain jane versions of things and that's it. i know old stage carries 'little gems'. the number to reach rob (old stage) is 772-6214 in the evenings. coy (broadwell's) is only reachable between 7-9 most evenings as well. it's worth asking, since if they have it you won't find it cheaper. btw, i've always had really good luck with both of their things. rob does carry some perennials, too. it's always an adventure when you head down there. good luck! tam

Thanks Tammy!
