Eric T. Fleisher focused on horticulture and soil science for F2 Environmental Design.
He was a national leader in the field of sustainable horticulture and was the former director of horticulture at Battery Park City Parks Conservancy in lower Manhattan. Fleisher brought this 37-acre oasis of parkland on the Hudson River to the forefront as the only public garden space in New York City to be maintained completely organically. He continued to develop protocols to help landscapes recover from the 20th century’s chemical interventions. He was a frequent lecturer on sustainable practices and served as a consultant for some of the top institutions in the country.
