SOIL Lab reaches fundraising goal for Grow Dome

Grow domes are geodesic dome greenhouses designed for sustainable year-round gardening. We expect to begin site preparation and construction before the school year ends.

With the addition of  a 42-ft diameter Grow Dome in 2024, SOIL will be introducing:

  • Year-round field trips, community events, workshops and volunteer opportunities
  • 1,400 square feet of additional growing space
  • Public demonstration of climate-controlled growing techniques
  • New opportunities for innovative, hands-on STEM learning experiences for students across Southwest Colorado
  • Plants that are normally unable to thrive in our local growing season
  • Aquaponic system to cycle nutrients between fish and plants
