More Favorites From the 2026 Photo Contest

There were far more beautiful photos than we could recognize with just three awards. This year’s entries took us inside lush greenhouse gardens, showed off Growing Domes in landscapes across the country, and gave us a look at the harvests, plants, layouts, and little details that make every space different.

Thank you to every Dome Owner who took the time to share their Growing Dome with us. Seeing what happens after a Growing Dome leaves Pagosa Springs is one of our favorite parts of what we do.

Thank You to Our Growing Dome Community

A Growing Dome may start with the same basic structure, but what happens inside is completely personal. Some owners fill nearly every inch with vegetables. Others make room for fruit trees, flowers, tropical plants, a chair beside the pond, or a little bit of everything.

This contest gives us a chance to see those spaces through the eyes of the people who grow in them every day. Thank you for sharing your gardens, your creativity, and your Growing Dome stories with us!

About the 2026 Growing Dome Photo Contest

The 2026 Growing Dome Photo Contest invited Growing Dome owners to submit photos of their greenhouse gardens, harvests, layouts, exterior spaces, creative details, and more.

Entries were accepted through July 31, 2026, followed by community voting throughout August. The photos receiving the most community votes earned first, second, and third place.

Missed this year’s contest? Keep taking pictures. We love seeing your Growing Dome through the seasons, and there’s always another photo opportunity around the corner.
