Tulip Tree Design is a garden design company, founded by Daniel Phillips in 2019. Daniel initially studied Political Science at Williams College and then went on to receive an MFA in Studio Art from Tufts University in Boston. A life-long appreciation of plants was manifest in each small garden springing up on the patios of his urban living spaces. 

​

Daniel worked as a sculptor, making large-scale and site-specific installations. It was during his time as an artist-in-residence at Wassaic Project in 2018 that he had the opportunity to reinvigorate his love of gardening. Once his residency concluded, he was hired to stay on as the Garden Fellow for the 2018 growing season.

 

Since then, Daniel has created custom garden installations and bespoke planters for a range of clients. He is currently finishing courses towards a Certificate in Horticulture and Sustainable Garden Design from the New York Botanical Garden. He loves plants, trees, and building gardens.
