Turtle Creek Nursery

Turtle Creek Nursery is a Landscaping business in Davidson, NC, located at 12037 Mooresville Rd. Founded in 1972 by the Edwards family, the nursery serves the Charlotte and Lake Norman area. It operates as a licensed grower of landscape shrubs and trees, offering wholesale, commercial, and homeowner supplies. The facility spans over 125 acres, including 18 acres of container shrubs and 10 acres of field production. At any given time, the nursery cares for around 90,000 plants. The site includes a 5-acre irrigation lake that collects and recycles water from the nursery irrigation, along with numerous settlement ponds in the woods and grass to keep the recirculated water clean.

The nursery originally intended to specialize in Azaleas and Rhododendron but developed into a broad spectrum operation growing a wide selection of shrubs and trees. Container trees became a staple in the plant mix around 1980. The landscaping division was closed in 1978 to focus on plant production. Between 1978 and 1989, a full-service garden center operated in Charlotte alongside the current location. The nursery is located 20 miles north of Charlotte, 8 miles east of I-77, and 8 miles west of I-85 on Highway 3 between Charlotte, Concord, and Mooresville.
