Many of us can look at this photo and envision what will be a great adventure. Site selection, solar orientation, leveling the ground, leveling the ground, leveling, leveling, and more leveling. You get the picture, but wait…
Where in the world is this future 26′ Growing Dome site? These iconic photos have become the feature of a little contest I came up with called ” Where in the World”. Submit your guesses to where in the world you think this may be by simply submitting a comment to this blog post with the continent, country and region or town by April 30th, 2012. I’ll select the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd closest winners and contact them by email. As a reward for your great guesswork, Growing Spaces will send out organic, heirloom vegetable seed packets, my choosing, to our three winners.
Hint! Hint! It’s not in Colorado, USA.
Enjoy, Richard the Growing Dome Vent Maker
I worked at Growing Spaces from 2015 to 2023 and returned in 2025. I’m here to guide you through purchasing a Growing Dome® greenhouse—from planning and site selection to choosing the right accessories for your climate. My goal is to help you create a thriving space for plants (and people!). I also manage the Growing Dome Advisor team and help with technical questions, installation documents, and day-to-day operations. I love empowering people to grow fresh, nutrient-dense food and watching a Growing Dome transform empty land into a personal sanctuary. I enjoy collaborating with our team to solve challenges and make it easy for anyone to buy a Growing Dome. I graduated from Western Colorado University in 2013 with a B.A. in Environmental Studies. In my free time, I enjoy hiking with my wife and our two big dogs, skiing, backpacking, and exploring the outdoors with my camera.
