Growing Gardeners and a Local Foodshed with a Growing Dome® at the Pine River Community Garden

Instead of garlic from China and avocados from Mexico, the Pine River Garden Club in Bayfield, Colorado, cultivates their own local foodshed, grows gardeners and teaches how to harvest what you thought wouldn’t grow here.

“We’re trying to grow gardeners. I think it’s just finding the people that are really passionate about gardening and community. If people can come here and see what we’re doing here…you know it can be done anywhere. Basically, it just takes people passionate about gardening.”

People who want to grow good food, to be healthier, to get outside and people who want to have fun in the garden with their kids.

“It’s basically all connected. We as human beings are all connected. The more we can come together and grow, the better off we’re all going to be.” Andrew Trujillo

Former Staff

Growing Spaces

For three days in March 2008 Jason Stuck shoveled gravel into a Growing Spaces’ 33’ Growing Dome. That was Jason's first “project” working for Growing Spaces. Jason easily fell in love with the product, the people, and the philosophy of helping the earth by helping others grow their own food. Jason wore many hats at Growing Spaces over the years. Shovel slinger, metal fabricator, shopkeeper and author. Jason wrote many articles for our website and newsletter.
