Dome-It and Pacific Domes team up


On Saturday, August 7th, one of our sales representatives attended Ecopalooza, a free summer concert event held in Portland, OR. This year Ecopalooza was presented by Dome It! 

Recently, Pacific Domes of Ashland Oregon, USA, partnered with Dome It and was proud to supply a 16’ tall greenhouse dome which was set up within the event and used as an information booth. The event was a success for both parties, with more awareness being brought to the world about the promising future of domes.

Dome It is a community outreach program whose goal is to ultimately gift greenhouse dome/gardens to every school in the country. 

The idea first got started in 2007 with the strong goal to fix the nation’s stance on healthcare. One way to send a global message and teach our children about sharing the responsibility of our health is by putting a greenhouse dome on the grounds of every school, and filling it with the resources to grow and maintain fresh food from the garden.


Pacific Domes is no stranger to greenhouse domes and has manufactured them in the past for other projects, sometimes in sizes as large as our 60’ dome which covers 2800 sq. ft. 

The 16’ tall dome that was used at Ecopalooza is a great example of our greenhouse dome on a small scale. The dome had custom decals applied at the top, and features such as our base screen roll-up to deliver ventilation.

Pacific Domes Greenhouse - Science Works


With the help of Greenhouse Dome leader, Pacific Domes of Oregon, the people at Science Works Hands-on-Museum are doing great things with a Pacific Domes greenhouse dome and is showing the world how one dome can make a positive environmental difference.


This geodesic dome greenhouse currently serves as a nursery and shade structure for ongoing forest and stream-side restoration projects throughout the Rogue Valley. However, the domed shelter is perfect as an enclosed classroom space for visiting students and the community who often participate in these projects.

ScienceWorks, in conjunction with Pacific Domes, built a solar power irrigation system for the trees and plants inside. The watering system begins in the solar panels outside of the geodome as sun shine is absorbed and turned into electricity.

The electricity then powers the system pumps to get water in a barrel at the top of the dome. When the water is released, gravity does its job by pulling the water through the pipes and misting the plants.

The frame of the dome is reliable and sturdy for hanging or attaching plant beds and pots. The ScienceWorks irrigation system shows how pipes, hoses and other equipment find themselves right at home, fastened securely to the structure.
