A native of Wales, Stephen Pryce Lea was born on a small livestock farm. Realizing agriculture wasn’t capturing his interest, he developed an interest in horticulture and completed an apprenticeship with the National Trust for Places of Historic Interest or Natural Beauty in the United Kingdom and earned a bachelor’s degree in horticulture from Lancaster University in northern England. He took over as horticulturist at the Delaware Botanic Gardens in 2021 and was quickly promoted to director of horticulture.
