Our New Dome Greenhouse

Our 22 foot diameter geodesic dome greenhouse was built in July of 2003. It sits on the NE corner of our backyard in Menomonie, WI. We built our dome from a kit manufactured by Growing Spaces in Colorado.

The foundation wall and dome struts went up fairly easily. Everything was predrilled and precut.

Here we are installing the twinwall polycarbonate panels.

The dome complete.

The sri yantra is on the door of the greenhouse. This ancient mystical symbol curiously represents the dome structure as a group of triangles within a circle. The sri yantra is thought to be a visual manifestation of the word 'om'...the primal energy of the universe.

There is certainly lots of good energy inside the dome. We planted tomatos, peppers, bush beans, cucumbers, zucchini, and eggplant. There are herbs such as basils, rosemary, lavender, oreganos, and marjoram. For flowers there are plumerias, brugmansias, salvias, geranium, a climbing peace rose, flowering maples and a lotus. There is also a dwarf fig and avocado tree!
