News and Events, Fall/Winter 2020
2020 will always be a difficult year to put into words. But for us here at Growing Spaces, New York Times author Dorie Chevlen put it best:
“When the pandemic forced everyone into isolation and threatened food supplies, some people decided to build their own greenhouses.”
We were honored to be featured in this great article about growing your own food during the pandemic.
They Built Their Own Greenhouses. Did They Reap What They Sowed?
Fall Drive-Thru Event Golden, CO
Many in Front Range Colorado got to participate in the only event we were able to hold all year, and it was a great success! We handed out Halloween pumpkins for the kids, gave away Growing Spaces merchandise, had socially distant games, and of course gave personal tours of GoFarm’s 26′ Geodesic Dome Greenhouse in Golden, CO. Here are some pictures from the Fall ‘Drive Thru’ Event held on October 17, 2020!

Growing Spaces’ was delighted to host Aaron Perry and cinematographer Artem Nikulkov to Pagosa Springs to film an episode of their Y on Earth Podcast.
