The Gardeners Exchange at Saaddlebrooke Ranch welcomes Mark Sitter, owner of B and B Cactus Nursery to speak on Wednesday, December 16, at 1:00 p.m. in La Mesa Room at La Hacienda Club. Mark will share his vast knowledge of growing cacti and succulents, focusing on designing containers of succulents and their particular care. He is bringing plants to give away and plants to sell.

Today he oversees a large and diverse collection of cacti and succulents from around the world growing at B and B Cactus Farm, 1.5 miles east of Houghton Road on East Speedway Boulevard in Tucson.
