SWEDEN: Final Installation

Two owners posing during their Growing Dome Greenhouse build in Sweden

DATELINE Sweden, the U.S. connection, the story continues… As with many “Great Times” in life, our time in Sweden came and went in a blink. The Johansson family, our wonderful hosts, represent, in my opinion, the future of our planet. I know that sounds profound, but it is the simple truth. The love, interest and time spent together as a family expands to their community and foreign guests as well. What a natural, unconditional way to be! Careful Ludvig, don’t let that go to your head. Well, building a Growing Dome Greenhouse in Sweden is easier said than done. Just imagine the state of Washington USA, with more rain…is that possible? Anyway, we did what we could do, laughed a lot and took pride in what we did. Now that the dome is buttoned up, it’s hard to tell what pictures we will see next from Ludvig. I can hardly wait!!
