A Family Owned and Run Business
The original family nursery was founded in Onarga Illinois in 1865.Country Arbors is owned and run by 4th and 5th Generation nurserymen (and ladies) of the Cultra Family. The original family nursery was founded in Onarga Illinois in 1865. Terry and Donna Cultra purchased and re-established the nursery in Urbana, formally known as Wandell's Nursery, and in 1988 renamed it Country Arbors Nursery.
In the mid 90's Terry's two sons, Shane and Joe, joined the family business to learn the trade and continue on the family tradition that continues to this day. The 6th generation is already working at the nursery on Spring Breaks and holidays and we're looking forward to having new family join the business.

One hundred percent healthy, locally grown plants is our ultimate goal and every year we move one step closer.
