About Harold Kingston
In 2019, Harold Kingston single-handedly revived the near-extinct Nepenthes attenboroughii in Palawan by cross-pollinating wild specimens using a custom-made hummingbird-wing pollinator drone, then documented the entire process in watercolor field journals bound in recycled rattan. His work doesn’t stop at conservation: he’s curated three immersive botanical exhibitions where visitors navigate living galleries of bioluminescent mosses and scent-emitting orchids synced to ambient rainfall recordings from Borneo’s canopy. Harold speaks to plants as collaborators, not subjects, referring to his Madagascar periwinkle colony as 'the jury' when testing new propagation techniques, and insists every specimen carries ancestral memory encoded in leaf venation patterns. He travels with a portable mycological lab strapped to his bicycle trailer and once rerouted a TEDx talk to spend 47 minutes explaining why urban dandelions deserve UNESCO intangible heritage status. His enthusiasm isn’t performative; it’s physiological, his pulse spikes measurably when touching unclassified lichens.
