Kip Wood grew up in Northern California surrounded by beautiful gardens, which his father cared for by hand. After studying landscape architecture and bio-dynamic gardening at UCLA, Kip opened his own design firm, while simultaneously starting a community garden to give local families the chance to grow their own food.

When not designing gardens, Kip likes to stay creative by editing films, writing, teaching meditation and raising his son. He loves sports and statistics, numbers to be exact. He has a knack for them which comes in handy for Compassion Prison Project.
