Your Southeast Pinal County Master Gardeners are pleased to invite you to our Community Education Presentation Wednesday, December 11, 2024 @ 1:oo pm at SaddleBrooke Ranch Sol Ballroom, 31143 S. Amenity Dr., Oracle AZ 85623. Join us as we welcome back Mark Sitter from B & B Cactus Farm for this free presentation on Unique and Uncommon Cactus and Succulents for Cold Climates.
Many of us are familiar with the more common cactus varieties such as the golden barrel, prickly pear, agaves, and saguaros we see sprinkled throughout the Sonoran desert and found in many of our neighboring landscapes. Mark will introduce us to many of the more unusual varieties of cactus and succulents that thrive at our elevation and will make a great addition to our landscape. In addition he will address how to care for cactus and succulents including how to choose the best location, proper seasonal watering practices, propagation, fertilization and much more.
Mark Sitter is the owner of B & B Cactus Farm, which is located on East Speedway in Tucson. The Farm is an established cactus nursery, specializing in cacti and succulents of all types. They have been in business for more than 30 years.
The nursery welcomes visitors to browse their beautifully landscaped gardens, with many greenhouses and outside areas populated with diverse and exotic specimens that are cold hardy. Homeowners will find everything from small seedlings to large, landscape specimens.
