Dennis Higbie, Walt Disney World Horticulture, Orlando
Just as you plan for long term maintenance, refurbishment
and replacement of buildings, roads and vehicles, the same
plans need to be put in place for a landscape. Walt Disney
World Horticulture General Manager, Dennis Higbie, has to
grapple with not just day to day landscape maintenance budget
concerns, but long-term reinvestment in an asset which has
contributed significantly to the “magic” of Walt
Disney World. Mr. Higbie shared the factors and considerations
he uses in budgeting and facilitating the growing asset of
Walt Disney World’s impressive gardens and landscape. |
