Sustainability: We are committed to modeling a sustainable business which
promotes the use of renewable resources wherever possible and “Living lightly on the
earth”. Using existing technology in combination with the natural forces of wind, sun,
water and earth, we produce a product that is as efficient as possible, while remaining
affordable.

Health, Conservation and Natural Gardening: In order to conserve the
finite resources of the planet and renew life in ourselves and in our world, we promote
organic gardening without pesticides and other harmful chemicals. This is the basis of
sound health, healing and a balanced lifestyle.

Sanctuary: Helping our clients to take charge of their diet and health by growing
fresh, safe, organic food in the Growing Dome environment has the added benefit of
creating a peaceful sanctuary away from the stresses of modern life. The extra space
of a beautiful enclosed garden can be a retreat space that nurtures peace, harmony and
inner balance. Our product increases quality of life and enhances the life-style of those
who value finding a sense of solace through connection with nature. We are currently
developing a Sanctuary Dome for those who wish to emphasize this focus.

Education: Our background in holistic, sustainable and off- the- grid living leads to
knowledge and wisdom from experience that may be of service to various clients and
schools. We offer a consulting group to help our clients make the transition to a more
natural way of life and provide support for schools who would like to use the Growing
Dome as a living laboratory for learning about living in harmony with nature.
“A new view point, a new way of looking, seeing & presenting the garish facts that should
be so self-evident, has long been called for as a practical way of responding effectively
has long been needed.”

Our Contribution
Many people are rediscovering the benefits of nutritious, locally fresh, organic
vegetables, fruits and herbs. In the U.S.A. today over 4000 Farmers markets are taking
the place of old town squares which shows that people desire quality, fresh, affordable
foods.

Our first desire was to address this need by creating the backyard Growing Dome in the
Rocky Mountains where buying Organic food is expensive and the short growing season
and wildlife make gardening almost impossible. But our eighteen years of operation
have shown numerous other benefits:

We have found ourselves educating our clients and other businesses about the use of
solar energy, and natural systems. Schools and institutions are using our Growing
Domes as living laboratories for learning about nature, seasons and support for sound
nutrition. The strength of the dome’s design has solved the problems of wind and
weather in harsh or changing climates while demonstrating a unique shape and
symmetry. Interest in these spaces as a sanctuary or personal space away from the
stress of our electronic modern world is growing. The large community domes bring
groups of people together in a common focus. The recognition of gardening as therapy
for the old or injured has become a new focus for elder communities. Indigenous people
are attending to the health of their tribes and remembering their ancient connection with
plants as medicine.

There are many “inconvenient truths” in our world today. We are draining the earth’s
resources faster than they can be replenished and potentially overloading the capability
of the earth to handle our waste products. The results are seen in the degradation of our
air, our forests, our water, our weather, our glaciers, polar ice caps and our animal life.
It is said that “we are what we eat”. We are learning that genetically engineered foods
are potentially harmful and that standard commercial agricultural practices are not
beneficial to our soil, air or water. The increase in cancer, child obesity, heart conditions
and diabetes, are often linked to our “nutritionally empty” foods.

But there are solid affordable solutions that can be taken by each individual. If we each
search for alternatives that would best support and nurture ourselves and our world, one
by one, positive change becomes real. Whether it’s solar greenhouse-growing for year
‘round fresh food, utilizing more renewable energies in home or office, or care and
awareness of conservation in our political votes, the choices we make contribute to
the big picture and make a difference both personally and collectively. Because
we demonstrate that solar and renewable energy is a viable alternative to practices that
are depleting the planet of its ability to sustain life, we feel we are a part of the solution to
Global Warming.
