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.
