An update from AspenPointe:

“A 42 ft. Geodesic Growing Dome was added to the garden in April 2013 to allow the community garden to provide programming for our clients and community year-round and to help provide fresh, local produce for our AspenPointe Café throughout the winter months.

The Growing Dome was planted with diverse crops this first year in order to see what would flourish in the Dome environment. We had a successful summer and grew some great produce, which included: tomatoes, watermelons, strawberries, figs, a variety of eggplant and herbs.

Throughout the Spring and Summer months, we offered community gardening classes, volunteer days and held a youth-run Garden Market. The participation and engagement of our community and clients was great and we are planning programs that we can continue year-round, now that we have the Growing Dome.

We just recently replanted the Growing Dome for the winter months and will be growing spinach, cilantro, beets and herbs. Having the ability to grow produce year-round will benefit our café, our community partners and the clients we serve.”

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.
