Join us for an Oracle Historical Society (OHS) speaker event. Catesby Suter will present “Caring for Iris and Other Bulbs” at the OHS Acadia Ranch Museum, 825 E. Mount Lemmon Hwy., Oracle, Ariz., on March 8 from 2 to 3:30 p.m. The suggested donation is $5 (free for OHS members).
Catesby Suter has long been interested in plants and earned her Master of Science degree in botany. After retiring from the City of Tucson as an environmental manager, Catesby rediscovered her love of botany and became a UA Cooperative Extension Master Gardener. For the past several years, she has taught monthly gardening classes at the San Manuel Library and is now offering one of her latest classes, “Caring for Iris and Other Bulbs,” to the Oracle Historical Society. This class will touch briefly on the history of iris cultivation, planting techniques, preparing and feeding the soil, tips on dividing bulbs, and examples of flowering bulbs that will grow in our region.
The Oracle Historical Society is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, educational organization that preserves the unique cultural-historical heritage of the community of Oracle.
