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 University of Arizona Cooperative Extension Master Gardener. For the last 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.
