Picture
Unity Gardens in partnership with Growing Spaces is putting up the area's first Geo Dome. Why a Geo Dome? This Learning Lab Geodome will help Unity Gardens connect to our community year round.  Imagine schools visiting Unity Gardens  to enhance learning about gardening techniques, botany, vermi-culture, and even renewable energy during the school year, when children are available !

The geodesic shape of the Growing Dome is beautiful; its real beauty lies in its strength. The triangle shapes forming the Growing Dome greenhouse create a geometric pattern of strength not replicated in a simple rectangular shape. This extraordinary Growing Dome greenhouse design feature, a large above-ground pond, acts as the “Power Pack” of the solar greenhouse.  The North Wall Insulation (also called “Reflectix”) helps keep the Growing Dome greenhouse cozy during the long winter nights and reflects light evenly onto the plants during the day for maximum growth. Greenhouse designs including north wall insulation provide shade in the summer and, in combination with the above ground pond, prevent overheating. With all these features we will be able to use this dome for both education and growing food with minimal energy cost. 

We are currently raising funds for our Geo Dome and need your help. We have a generous donor that has committed to matching each donation until we meet our goal. Please consider investing in connecting our kids to the joys of growing and eating fresh fruits and veggies!
