Let Your Garden Grow…In A Geodesic Dome Greenhouse /

Wednesday, March 7th, 2012

As the late winter snows melt away, it’s time to think about your springtime garden. With a geodesic dome greenhouse, you need not wait until the ground and air temperatures warm up. Your dome can create a perfectly habitable environment for your plants to grow and thrive.

Geodesic domes are known for their excellent energy-efficiency and good air circulation, both qualities that make for an excellent growing environment. There is no need to spend extraordinary amounts of money on heating, cooling, or ventilation. The spherical structure makes the most of your natural light, no matter the position you choose.

Utilize square foot gardening techniques to maximize your food production in as small a space as possible. A 16′ dome, our starting size, provides 200 square feet of space and only takes 2 hours to construct. Paired with a transparent cover, you can have your very own greenhouse for less than $1,800. Check out our eco dome selections to choose the right greenhouse for you!

Geodesic domes have a light and sturdy design allowing for easy set-up and teardown. Additionally, their portability allows you to build without a permit, in almost any location imaginable. Do you desire a rooftop garden? No problem. Domes can be anchored to a platform, or built directly onto your chosen surface.

Being one of the strongest design structures, geodesic domes are able to bear heavy loads, whether hanging within, or from snow accumulation on the exterior–enjoy garden-fresh vegetables and fruits, with a foot of snow overhead!

All the reasons why domes make great living environments for you and your family, are the same reasons why they make an excellent eco-system for your plants.
