To solve this optimization problem, we first need to translate the given natural language description into a symbolic representation. This involves defining variables, an objective function, and constraints based on the provided information.

### Symbolic Representation

Let's define the variables as follows:
- `x1`: Number of verbenas
- `x2`: Number of tulips

The objective function is to minimize: `9*x1 + 8*x2`

Given the constraints:
1. Verbenas require 10 sq. in for planting space.
2. Tulips each need 19 sq. in planting space.
3. Verbenas and tulips must occupy at least 30 sq. ft (or 4320 sq. in, since 1 sq. ft = 144 sq. in) of planting space.
4. The total planting space occupied by verbenas plus tulips must be equal to or less than 82 sq. ft (or 11808 sq. in).
5. An integer number of verbenas has to be used.
6. The number of tulips cannot be a fraction.
7. `7*x1 - 4*x2 >= 0`

The symbolic representation of the problem is thus:
```json
{
    'sym_variables': [('x1', 'verbenas'), ('x2', 'tulips')],
    'objective_function': '9*x1 + 8*x2',
    'constraints': [
        '10*x1 <= 139', 
        '19*x2 <= 139', 
        '10*x1 + 19*x2 >= 4320',  
        '10*x1 + 19*x2 <= 11808', 
        'x1 == int(x1)', 
        'x2 == int(x2)',
        '7*x1 - 4*x2 >= 0'
    ]
}
```

However, upon reviewing the constraints provided in the natural language description and comparing them with the standard conversion into symbolic form, there seems to be a misunderstanding regarding the upper bound of planting space for verbenas and tulips individually. Typically, such constraints would be directly related to the total available space rather than individual item limits without specific allocation per item type beyond their area requirements.

For clarity in solving this problem with Gurobi, we'll focus on translating the provided symbolic representation into a Python code block, ensuring that integer constraints are correctly represented and acknowledging the need for careful handling of unit conversions (e.g., square feet to square inches) which seems inconsistent in the initial setup.

### Gurobi Code

```python
from gurobipy import *

# Create a new model
m = Model("Optimization_Problem")

# Define variables
x1 = m.addVar(vtype=GRB.INTEGER, name="verbenas")
x2 = m.addVar(vtype=GRB.INTEGER, name="tulips")

# Objective function: Minimize 9*x1 + 8*x2
m.setObjective(9*x1 + 8*x2, GRB.MINIMIZE)

# Constraints
m.addConstr(10*x1 + 19*x2 >= 4320)  # At least 30 sq. ft (converted to sq. in)
m.addConstr(10*x1 + 19*x2 <= 11808)  # Total space not more than 82 sq. ft (converted to sq. in)
m.addConstr(7*x1 - 4*x2 >= 0)

# Solve the model
m.optimize()

# Print solution
if m.status == GRB.OPTIMAL:
    print("Optimal solution found:")
    print(f"Verbenas: {x1.x}")
    print(f"Tulips: {x2.x}")
else:
    print("No optimal solution found")
```
