- Owner, Ann Barborinas, in front of the newly dedicated Glenwood Tree Center in Mount Vernon, WA
With the construction finally complete, Urban Forest Nursery, Inc. hosted an Open House party earlier this month. Along with fantastic food and drinks, the party really kicked up with the music of the Black & Blues, a local blues/rock band. During the ceremony, owner Jim Barborinas, presented his wife, Ann, with a plaque to dedicate the building in her family’s honor. Ann grew up in Illinois, and raised cattle at her family’s farm, named Glenwood Farm. In dedication to her farming heritage and her family, our new building will be called the Glenwood Tree Center.
After over a year of planning, permitting, and building, we are finally in our new barn and office building! We moved in a few weeks ago, and are getting settled into the new space. We now have a great new area for our crew, and a large shop for tractor and implement storage. Upstairs are three offices, a small kitchen, and conference room. We invite our customers to call and schedule a vist to the nursery. We would love to show you around and tell you all about our growing methods and philosophy! Call us at 360-428-5810 or send an email to sales@urbanforestnursery.com.

It’s great when a satisfied customer sends us a picture of their newly planted tree from Urban Forest Nursery, Inc! Here is an awesome example of beautifying an otherwise bare and boring strip of land between sidewalk and street. This is a Crimson Cloud Hawthorn and will have gorgeous bright reddish pink flowers with white centers. And the best part…the form! It is one of those trees where the branches grow in a somewhat irregular but symmetrical pattern, giving it an almost whimsical appearance. I have one in my backyard, and I can honestly say it’s one of my favorite trees. A great side benefit…the fragrance of the flowers in the spring is amazing!
