Sitter has been the owner of B and B Cactus Farm in Tucson since 2004. Mark was a staff Horticulturalist at the Arizona Sonora Desert Museum for 10 years. He designed the original gardens about the Ironwood Restaurant and Gallery and grew magnificent large potted specimen cacti and succulents that adorned the complex. Today B and B Cactus Farm is a destination nursery for locals and visitors from around the region and across the United States. The nursery focuses on acclimated cacti and succulents for pots or landscapes. B and B specializes in agaves, barrels, hybrid torch cacti and columnar cacti. Large display gardens are also maintained to show off what southern Arizonans can grow outside.
All Green Valley Gardener seminars are free and open to the public. The seminar begins at 9:30 a.m. and lasts one hour. Come as early as 9:00 a.m. to get a seat at this popular presentation.
