SWEDEN: Final Installation image
Two owners posing during their Growing Dome Greenhouse build in Sweden

DATELINE Sweden, the U.S. connection, the story continues… As with many “Great Times” in life, our time in Sweden came and went in a blink. The Johansson family, our wonderful hosts, represent, in my opinion, the future of our planet. I know that sounds profound, but it is the simple truth. The love, interest and time spent together as a family expands to their community and foreign guests as well. What a natural, unconditional way to be! Careful Ludvig, don’t let that go to your head. Well, building a Growing Dome Greenhouse in Sweden is easier said than done. Just imagine the state of Washington USA, with more rain…is that possible? Anyway, we did what we could do, laughed a lot and took pride in what we did. Now that the dome is buttoned up, it’s hard to tell what pictures we will see next from Ludvig. I can hardly wait!!

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.
