Currin's Nursery, Inc.

In 1974, Richard Currin established Currin's Nursery, Inc. at a small location off of Hwy. 42, which is presently a satellite farm. In 1982 he purchased the property at Eric Street, which is the current location of the office and daily operations of the nursery. At present, there are 15 acres in production at Currin's Nursery.

Richard received his degree in Horticultural Science at North Carolina State University in 1972. In 1994, he isolated the Abelia x grandiflora 'Little Richard' which continues to be a noteworthy and popular plant.

Richard's daughter, Ruth Currin Holcomb, joined the nursery team in December of 2005 as the Sales and Marketing Manager. She received both a bachelor of arts in Communications with a minor in Spanish and Horticulture and a Master of Science in Communications. She is a Certified Plant Professional for the state of North Carolina.
