About Us
Corporate Overview
A decade ago, Leon Richardson created one of Virginia's premier floral design and event management firms, The Gallery Flowers & Gifts. Leon's experiences is a testament to the company's potential to develop a new standard of design and event presentation. He believes that choosing the correct floral elements along with handling fine details are the keys to a pleasurable and a successful event.
Fittingly, the mission of The Gallery Flowers Gifts is to introduce the beauty and vitality that flowers bring, not just as gifts that celebrate the milestones of life, but as natural treasures that are capable of transforming an ambience and soul that inhabit the space. The Gallery Flowers Gifts prefers to showcase designs that influence the emotional value, energy and spirit that all types of flowers bring into our lives every day.
Leon is known for his conceptional prowess: the ability to take a client's unformed visions of an event and develop them into a complete thematic experience. Leon has created and executed a myriad of unforgettable events in New York City while also working as consultant/ designer and for local events such as the Presidential Inauguration of Virginia State University, the 250th Anniversary of the City of Petersburg, floral set designs for New Millennium Movie Studios, Virginia State University's Graduations, among events hosted by many of the non-profit organizations in the area.
Leon provides his clients who seek a signature floral arrangement for a foyer, or the creation of a total event concept for the twenty- first century. Personal service and the highest levels of creativity are hallmarks of The Gallery's experience. Each composition is viewed as a unique assembly, crafted with the care, thoughtfulness and creativity that is born from a thorough understanding of the client's desires.
