About Us
The Ann Arboristas is owned by Fortino and Frank LLC. Nancy Fortino Bates & Diane Frank Wilson
Diane and Nancy have been friends for close to 40 years and decided for their “third acts” to connect businesses, newcomers and residents of Ann Arbor, Michigan together. They created Ann Arboristas, a concierge business for people relocating to Ann Arbor as well as a vehicle for everyone to get to know this unique town better.
Diane was the General Manager of the Ann Arbor Ice Cube for 25 years and created a “community” and friendly vibe at the Cube making it a welcoming venue for people of all ages.
Nancy, an artist/designer and owner of Bates Design, LLC has built and sold several custom homes in Ann Arbor.
They are excited to offer an inside look into all the special local spots that they know and love.
