As we find more and more ways to connect with fellow gardeners around the country we are amazed at the overwhelming number of backyard gardeners, homesteaders, professional landscapers and school gardeners that are out there writing about their experiences. It’s so fun to see a the virtual garden blooming and growing. We would like to do our part and water the seeds planted by these talented bloggers, so we’ve decided to join in the Blog Party movement started by the gals at #gardenchat and take some time out to feature one of our favorite bloggers.

We would like to feature Bridget at “The Nickel and Dime Ranch“. She has a lovely, fun and escapist style that takes you right away into her Northern New Mexico ranch. Her posts are full of beautiful photos and fun antidotes about her curious dog and thieving steers. She’s also a wonderful quilter and shares vibrant photos of patterns and fabrics. Bridget shares favorite recipes and eateries too. There’s a little bit of everything. We first met Bridget back in March 2012 when she purchased her Growing Dome from us and, of course, we enjoy the updates on her garden the most. As we check in on occasion to find an update we find ourselves reading about the other things going on in her life and enjoying those posts just as much. Thanks Bridget for giving us a window into your world!

Growing Spaces

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. My photography business, Kinetic Exposure, is rooted in a simple belief: people seek artwork that changes how they feel. Whether it’s a night sky bursting with stars, a quiet wildlife encounter, or a mountain peak glowing at dawn, I’m not just documenting moments—I’m transporting viewers into them.
