Legal Question in Business Law in Florida

breach of contract
We are a small landscaping company hired for a large corporation through a site enhancement company to bring the site up to code.We received @ $13,000 down payment After several meetings with city about requirements I finally secured plants and informed the company.I was told we were waiting on permits and corrected architectural drawings.After a couple weeks I was sent email telling us to stop any plans to work & return any unspent money as there was a misunderstanding about the scope of the project with their client.They are refusing to pay the site enhancement company who wants me to return the plants to the nurseries to minimize their loss or to sell them at a discount & turn monies over to them without compensation to us.I told them plants are perishable and non-returnable.Additionally, the price I paid for them was our wholesale price not retail(part of our profit is the markup.I have over 30 hours in research, picking up, moving & caring for the plants.They are currently stored at my residence where they are taking up valuable space & time to care for them.The site enhancement company made the mistake & did not get approval and has prohibited us from installallation.How do we proceed for breach of contract to protect us?

Re: breach of contract

Mitigate your damages by selling the plants. A claim letter should be written . If that does not work, a lawsuit is the next step.Good luck.
