                        Wednesday, March 1, 2000

  Mr. McINNIS. Mr. Speaker, I would like to take a moment to recognize 
the Associated Landscape Contractors of Colorado's Nursery Person of 
the Year, Dennis Hill.
  Dennis won the award from the Excellence In Landscape Design 
Competition. Dennis has worked for twenty years in the industry. He was 
first an independent landscape contractor and presently a retail 
nursery. Owner of the nursery Bookcliff Gardens, Dennis admits that a 
love of gardening is only part of the job. He also thrives on being 
involved with people. He says that he gardens for two reasons: for the 
shade and for the beauty and peace.
  In addition to the individual award that Dennis received, his 
business also received the Merit Award in Landscape Construction in the 
Single Family Residential category.
  It is with this, Mr. Speaker, that I offer this tribute in honor of 
Dennis Hill and Bookcliff Gardens. He has brought dedication and 
professionalism to his profession.
