One question and one suggestion. Why is Florida using invasive plants in the first place? We suggest people should vote with their checkbook. At AquaHabitats.com we do not use any nursery that sells invasives. I find it pathetic that a nursery insists on selling an invasive species in the first place. It demonstrates their lack of knowledge of their business and a propensity towards simple greed.

SWA Group thanks LASN for including our Woodbury Recreation Center project in the July 2007 issue. However, well-designed projects are only realized when there is an equal commitment from the contractor during the construction phase of the work. Accordingly, we appropriately credit the general contractor and their major subcontractors, as follows:

General contractor: Consolidated Contracting Services, Inc.
Landscape subcontractor: Valley Crest Landscape Development
Concrete Subcontractor: Shaw & Son?EUR??,,????'?????< Pool subcontractor: Mission Pools
