“Off Again To High Adventure”
with Richard Miller, Growing Spaces Staff
Question: What do Growing Spaces, Rodale Institute, and Shumei Natural Agriculture have in common?
Answer: A 33′ Growing Dome
Yes, it’s true…Here we go again. Janet and I, the lowly vent maker, are “off again to high adventure”. Well, 15′-6″ high at least, to the top of the Growing Dome! On April 1st, we will begin installing a 33′ Growing Dome at the Rodale Institute in Kutztown, PA for the Shumei Natural Agriculture garden. It’s been about 3 and half years since the existing 22′ Growing Dome was installed by Rodale and Shumei staff, volunteers and myself. So, this time, Janet is coming to make sure I do it right.
I’ll keep you on the edge of your seat?? with pictures and commentary. Think of it, it will be like you’re right there holding a piece of polycarbonate glazing for me and wondering why I’m in charge!
For sure, this is a special project and we are honored to be part of it. The science behind Rodale, the exquisite art of farming by Shumei and a greenhouse product that is “Where Life Thrives”, all teamed up to provide a “working” model of a way to grow and think about our life, our food!
Be part of the adventure – stayed tuned. Richard

Great article. I am always interested to keep up on the new grow dome installations that you folks do. The Shumei Center is a great place, very beautiful!
