K evin Philip Williams read History and Philosophy of Science at Bard College and took his Master's in Public Horticulture through the Longwood Graduate Program at the University of Delaware. He interned at Brooklyn Botanic Garden and worked as a gardener on the High Line in Manhattan before moving west.
He is now Manager of Horticulture at Denver Botanic Gardens, where he stewards the Steppe Garden, the Conservation Garden, the Lilac and Dwarf Conifer collections and the Josephine Streetscape, among others. Beyond the institution he has worked on the SummerHome Garden, the Sensory Garden at the Denver Art Museum, and the Alien Dream Worlds installation at Meow Wolf Convergence Station — a body of work that fuses bioregional plant palettes with what he has described as a hardcore-punk ethos and a post-human aesthetic.
With Michael Guidi he co-authored Shrouded in Light, a sustained argument for the much-overlooked shrubland as a model for resilient garden design.
