We believe that music, art, food, and community—like what comes together at Rhythms on the Rio—are just as essential to a healthy future as sustainable growing practices. Supporting this festival is a natural extension of our commitment to nurturing connection and creativity, while sharing the joy of growing with the world. Stop by our booth to learn more about our innovative, durable greenhouse solutions that help communities become more resilient and self-sufficient.

Open House & Seed Swap

When: Saturday, March 21st, 2026, 10am–2pm Where: Growing Spaces’ Campus, 1860 Majestic Dr. Pagosa Springs, CO 81147

We had a fantastic event last year, and we’re thrilled to announce that we’re bringing back the Spring Open House & Seed Swap for 2026. We couldn’t have done it without your support.

The seed swap will occur between 10 am and noon as supplies last. Please arrive by 10 am if you plan to share your seeds. You may bring your seeds in bulk—we’ll provide envelopes, or pre-package and label your seeds for distribution with the common name, Latin name, year harvested if you know, and any additional details. Preference will be given to those who bring seeds to swap. You may bring home-harvested seeds, cuttings, and starts, or if you bought too much commercial seed, feel free to share that as well. Tours of all six sizes of Growing Dome Greenhouses will be available throughout the event.

We’re also excited to announce our guest speaker, CSU Extension Director of Archuleta County, Cindi Galabota, will present a talk at 11 am on seed starting. Exclusive to this event, we’ll have a limited supply of Paonia Soil Co.’s soil and amendments for sale that we don’t usually stock. Not only will you go home with some new seeds or plants, but you’ll be equipped with the soil and knowledge to start your garden out on the right foot (or root, as it were).

Parking will be available on the Growing Spaces campus, behind the main building at 1860 Majestic Dr (the second driveway, look for the banners/signs). This is a rain-or-shine event.

Growing Spaces

Having lived in Pagosa since 2001, I’m very familiar with Growing Spaces and have been interested in their geodesic dome design since we moved here. I got my start in gardening in the challenging conditions that Pagosa has to offer. In a previous role with the Southwest Land Alliance, I was able to contribute my graphic design services to the Geothermal Greenhouse Project, which features these unique domes. When I’m not working, I’m camping and exploring with my husband and dog, or I may be found tinkering with new creative projects like knitting or picking the mandolin. I’ve worn a lot of hats over the years and am excited now, in the spring of 2024, to be joining the marketing team and supporting the Growing Spaces community.
