Design by Nature (Hurricane Wilma)

The ramifications of the Fall hurricanes in Florida are revealing issues for the landscape industry. We are seeing increased wood prices through out the country as well as shortages in tropical plants. An article in the January 26 New York Times tells how landscape architects and garden design are affected as well. Mario Nievera, ASLA, lead a tour of his Palm Beach gardens at the Annual Meeting in October, just weeks before the the hurricanes wrapped up their work.
