Laura Hamilton

I joined the Growing Spaces team in May 2024. As the People and Operations Manager, I support the structure, systems, and daily rhythm that help our team do meaningful work. I also oversee our six demonstration Growing Domes and work with customers as they build confidence in their greenhouse journey.

My passion for horticulture and community has led me through a variety of service-based roles, including work with ecological restoration organizations, community gardens, food banks, and nonprofits. I currently serve as an officer on the board for the Geothermal Greenhouse Partnership and volunteer with CSU Extension’s Colorado Master Gardener program. Including my previous volunteer work in Utah, this is my fifth year serving in the community education-based Master Gardener program.

I also earned my Certified Greenhouse Grower certificate through the Colorado Nursery & Greenhouse Association. I’m passionate about lifelong learning and helping people feel more empowered, capable, and connected to growing.

Outside of work, I love spending time outdoors in the mountains, rivers, lakes, and wide-open spaces that make southwest Colorado feel like home.
