SWEDEN: Final Installation
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!!
Bye for now, Richard

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.
