Busch Gardens Europe
Some sad news for jobless market and Busch Gardens. The company has terminated their landscape contract which eliminate some 250 jobs for both parks in Florida and Virginia. Busch Gardens will now be handling their own landscaping duties which is a staple of the parks award winning beauty.
The company will focus to create in-house landscape department which in turn will hire back most of the 150 plus jobs they cut.

This picture above shows one of the many beauty of the landscaping areas of Busch Gardens parks which has become time in time a award winning honor by National Amusement Park Historical Association. To my opinion the beauty of Busch parks ravel and matches just as much as any Disney park out there.
I hoping with this tough time(drink) that most of these cut jobs will come back under Busch new management and directive. The parks has always been the most natural beauty looking style I seen and I hoping that these cut's doesn't lose their standard of quality.
Hey did anybody check out Season Pass ep. 104. They talk about the old Busch Gardens at California. Pretty neat history their and also don't forget to vote for the Season Pass for the Podcast awards daily. I been doing it since they open.

Thanks for the news, Stingray. I'm hoping the same. I hope they will be able to maintain the quality of the landscaping. It's really sad for the ones who lost their jobs.
