Peace of Mind Starts in Your Own Backyard
Food prices rise. Supply chains shift. Growing seasons feel less predictable. But when you can grow fresh food at home, you gain more than vegetables, herbs, and greens. You gain food security.
A Growing Dome® greenhouse or cold frame garden system helps you build food independence right outside your door. Whether you want a full year-round greenhouse or a simple way to extend your harvests, Growing Spaces gives you protected growing systems designed for fresh, homegrown food in more seasons.
With the right setup, year-round gardening becomes more than a hobby. It becomes a practical way to nourish your family, reduce reliance on the grocery store, and create peace of mind.
Fresh Food You Can Trust
There is nothing like walking into your greenhouse or stepping outside to your cold frame and picking food for dinner.
Homegrown food reconnects you with what you eat. You know how it was grown. You know what went into the soil. You know when it was harvested. And because you can pick food at peak freshness, every meal feels more alive, flavorful, and nourishing.
Food security is not only about having enough food. It is about access to fresh, healthy food you can trust.
A Growing Dome supports protected growing throughout the year. Cold frames help you start earlier in spring, harvest later into fall, and make better use of the shoulder seasons.
Nourishment That Goes Beyond Calories
Fresh fruits, vegetables, and herbs bring vitamins, minerals, fiber, hydration, and plant-based nutrition to everyday meals.
When you grow your own food, it becomes easier to add more color and variety to your plate. A handful of fresh herbs. A salad picked minutes before dinner. Tomatoes ripened on the vine. Greens harvested through the colder months.
These small harvests add up to a healthier, more resilient lifestyle.
Choose Your Home Growing System
Every family has different goals. Some people want a year-round greenhouse that becomes the heart of their home garden. Others want a simple way to protect greens, start seeds earlier, or harvest later into the season.
Growing Spaces offers both.
Growing Dome® Greenhouse Kits
A Growing Dome is a geodesic greenhouse kit designed for durable, energy-efficient, year-round gardening in a wide range of climates. Available in sizes from 15' to 42' in diameter, Growing Domes support backyard food production, homesteading, school gardens, community growing spaces, and larger greenhouse projects.
Each dome creates a protected environment that helps you grow fresh food with less dependence on outside weather. It is designed for growers who want longer harvest windows, reliable season extension, and a beautiful space to cultivate plants in every season.
Key Growing Dome features include:
- Strong geodesic design for wind, snow, and weather resistance
- Multi-wall polycarbonate glazing that lets in light while helping insulate the space
- An above-ground pond that acts as thermal mass to help moderate temperatures
- Reflectix® insulation on the north wall to reduce heat loss
- Ventilation systems that help manage airflow and temperature
- Raised bed and interior layout options for productive growing
- DIY-friendly greenhouse kits with instructions and support
- Optional professional installation
Inside a Growing Dome, you can grow vegetables, herbs, fruit, seedlings, medicinal plants, tropical plants, and more. Many customers also use their dome for aquaponics, seed starting, overwintering plants, and creating a peaceful garden retreat. It is more than a greenhouse. It is a long-term investment in food independence.

Cold Frames for Simple Season Extension
Cold frames are a smaller, simpler way to start growing more food at home.
They create a protected growing space over raised beds, in-ground gardens, patios, or greenhouse growing areas. By capturing sunlight and buffering plants from cold nights, frost, wind, and sudden weather changes, cold frames help extend the growing season without the commitment of a full greenhouse.
Growing Spaces cold frames are ideal for:
- Growing fresh greens close to the kitchen
- Starting seeds earlier in spring
- Protecting young plants from frost
- Extending harvests into colder months
- Adding a protected growing space besides a greenhouse
- Creating a low-maintenance food garden in a small yard or patio
- Helping new gardeners build confidence
Cold frames are especially useful for leafy greens, herbs, seedlings, cool-season vegetables, and small-space food production.
For some growers, a cold frame is the first step toward food independence and provides enough space to grow what they need. For others, it becomes a stepping stone or the perfect companion to a Growing Dome greenhouse.
Year-Round Gardening for Greater Independence
Traditional gardens are often limited by short seasons, harsh weather, pests, drought, and unpredictable conditions. A Growing Dome creates a protected environment that helps extend your season and support year-round gardening.
Inside the dome, plants are sheltered from wind, hail, frost, and extreme temperature swings. The solar greenhouse design, thermal mass pond, insulated north wall, and raised beds work together to create a more stable growing space.
Cold frames offer a smaller-scale version of that same idea. They help protect food crops in a simple, accessible way, so you can grow earlier, harvest later, and make better use of your outdoor space.
Both systems help you move from dependence to participation.
Less Reliance on the Grocery Store
A home greenhouse or cold frame will not replace every item in your pantry. But it can reduce your dependence on store-bought produce in a meaningful way. Every basket of greens, herbs, tomatoes, or vegetables you grow is food you do not have to buy, ship, store, or worry about sourcing later.
For many families, that shift brings real peace of mind. Food security means knowing you have options. Food independence means creating those options at home.
What Can You Grow?
Depending on your climate, goals, and growing style, you can grow a wide variety of fresh food in a Growing Dome or cold frame, including leafy greens, tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers, herbs, root crops, strawberries, seedlings, and cool-season vegetables. Some Growing Dome owners also grow citrus, figs, bananas, tropical plants, medicinal herbs, and aquaponic crops, creating a productive backyard space for fresh, seasonal nutrition.
