Habitat exhibit at the 2021 PHS Philadelphia Flower Show. The artistic director at Four Seasons Hotels in Paris and Philadelphia, Leatham is far more than your stereotypical gay florist. He is, in every sense of the word, an artist.
His medium is the visual and olfactory delights inherent in the world’s flowering plants (and he has favorite varieties that are sometimes flown in from far flung destinations just for him).Travelers rarely think of flowers as important in creating the perfect trip, but Leatham would like to change that.
He sees floral design as an essential element in pulling people out of their ordinary day-to-day and transporting them into another world.
