One of the new educational domes we have going up right now is being built at a Mini University Childcare Center in Dayton, Ohio. A state senator and other local dignitaries will be onsite on September 13th to witness the ribbon cutting, and official opening of the 33′ Growing Dome.

One of the school administrators, Julie Thorner, wrote to us saying: “Our greenhouse is done and Allan and Matthew (Growing Spaces certified installers) were fantastic! I had flight problems and missed some of the build but I can’t tell you how lucky we were to find the Growing Spaces team. We will keep in touch and send pictures of our progress as we shape a new generation of young children ready to care for the world…one little plant at a time. Thank you for an incredible beginning to our journey into the world of Growing Spaces!”

I graduated from Pagosa Springs High School in 2009 and moved to Gunnison, Colorado to pursue a degree in Environmental Studies. After graduating from Western State Colorado University, I moved back to my home town Pagosa Springs. Since moving back home in 2013, I have been working to develop a farm in Arboles. In my spare time, one may find me backpacking in the wilderness, cruising on a mountain bike, slacklining in the park, or skiing Wolf Creek. I also enjoy creating art when I am not outdoors. The mediums that I enjoy working with are yarn, canvas and paint, and clay. I have been experimenting with aquapoinics and am always excited to share knowledge on the subject with others. I joined the Growing Spaces team in 2015, and enjoy being involved in all the exciting projects and developments happening around here!
