Directions to Rich's Salvia Haven


Note:  I can only receive guests with special permission granted by Roy & Penny because of insurance issues.  Make sure I have cleared visits with them before coming

From Durham:

Take US 15/US 501 south through Sanford, then US 15 to Carthage.  Follow NC 24 west to Biscoe, then Alt US 220 north to the stoplight in Star.  Follow Asheboro instructiions from that point

From Raleigh:

Take US 1 south through Sanford, then US 15 to Carthage.  Follow NC 24 west to Biscoe, then Alt US 220 north to the stoplight in Star.  Follow Asheboro instructiions from that point

From Winston-Salem and points west:

Either go to US 220 in Greensboro and follow this expressway (future I-73/I-74) to Asheboro and south, or take US 311 south from Winston to US 220 in Randleman.  Go south to Asheboro and follow those instructions

From Charlotte:

Follow NC 24 or NC 27 through Albemarle and Troy to Biscoe, travel north on Alt US 220 to Star, and turn left at the stoplight.  Follow Ashboro directions from there.

From Pinehurst or Southern Pines and points further east:

Follow NC 211 west to Candor, then Alt US 220 north to the stoplight in Star.  Follow Asheboro instructiions from that point.  If you are coming from Fayetteville or Wilmington, you can use either NC 211 or NC 24 west to get to US 220/I-73/I-74.

From Ashboro and all points north:

Get off US 220 (future I-73/I-74) expressway at the Ether-Steeds Exit.  Travel south to the stop light at the center of Star and make a right over the railroad tracks and follow the main road, which goes to the left.  You will cross a second pair of tracks at 0.8 miles and then proceed 1.7 miles more to a mailbox marked 1216.  Look for a gray house near the road, then the caution sign for a set of curves on the road.  As you approach the latter, look for a neighbor's partially completed home on the right with the mailbox at the start of the driveway   Roy & Penny's house is in back of the newly completed house, past the greenhouse.

Distances of side roads from second RR crossing:

Greentop  (North)   0.0 mi
Mabe (North)  0.5 mi
Homestead (South) 0.7 mi
Joedell (South) 1.4 mi -  look for the luminous street sign if driving in the dark, at the top of the knoll
Roy & Penny's driveway (North) 1.7 mi

I will shortly be adding a regional map of central North Carolina, with the names and addresses of other nurseries like Plant Delights and points of interest like the NC State Zoo.
