In this post, I share what’s going on in the Geodesic Dome for the first snow in year five. I share tips and tricks for making the dome garden the place to be for gardening as the snow arrives.
First Snow
I still can’t believe this is my fifth year growing in the dome year-round. It has been an exciting adventure as you will see in the latest video. The video below describes the walkway in the dome and a few other growing tips highlighted below in this post. Watch the video and share it with your friends (please). Growing year-round is for everyone to enjoy.

Highlights From First Snow Year Five Dome Gardening
Here are some of the images from the video feature on this page. These are my favorite so be sure to click on each to check out details.
Edibles in the Dome this Late November!
I wore the ‘wrong’ shoes out to the dome. Or did I? These shoes have been amazing – I’ll just throw time in the washer later today and they come super clean. It is amazing to have walking shoes on and not have them get super soaked from snow and rain this time of year.
The season filled with blooms is just beginning in the dome as the snow arrives. I can always count on my rose collection including ‘At Last’ by Proven Winners and my succulents to put off amazing unique blooms. Look at that little baby bloom off of the purple petunia I brought in by Monrovia this past summer.

Evening Snow Walk in My April Garden
In this post I share a few photos and a video featuring the snow we have in mid-April. It is fun to see how the plants respond. In this post you will enjoy an evening snow walk in my spring garden. Evening Snow Walk in My April Garden Video This video doesn’t have any words just some sounds from the snow, birds and YouTube music. Tell me what you think about this video style. I really like it because it is easy to share what is going on in my world. https://youtu.be/4mV9ytIyJy8 If you are having issues viewing the video be sure to check out my Bren Haas YouTube Channel. Images From The Walk Just a few images of the walkout to the front landscape. I stayed on the driveway most of the time because I was too lazy to dig out my ‘snow’ boots this time of year. The colors of the newly sprouting trees and shrubs were just wonderful. Don’t feel bad for the daffodils in the border of the landscape below. Those flowers were done a few days ago after a long early bloom season. The photo below shows the new green grass peeking out of the meadow in the front. One of my favorite trees to take photos of especially in the spring is really loving the fresh kiss of snow. The photo below is my Candymint Crabapple tree along the driveway. It is starting to be normal to get snow in April. Thank goodness my delicates are in the dome garden. The Tulip along the front of the porch landscape has got to be my favorite this year. I did bring a few in the house to enjoy on the kitchen windowsill. Me of little faith – they did much better than I thought they would have with the snow. Sharing the windowsill with cactus, lettuce starters and more spring blooms. Let’s Connect I would love to hear from you so be sure to comment on this post or reach out to me on my contact page.

Winter Dome Update after The Trenching in Autumn
In this post, I will share a video and photos documenting how trenching is working around my dome. Be sure to check out the video and images featured on this page. Winter Dome Update After Trenching Video In the video featured on this page, I share an update on how the dome is performing during a somewhat mild winter after the trenching work was completed in Autumn. I hope you will watch the video below. Please consider subscribing to my Bren Haas YouTube Channel where you will find updates weekly. Water Dome Images It is fun to look back on what was growing in the dome garden in years past during January and February months. This year has been extremely mild with little snow. I am thankful to have a weather station on-site to keep track of exactly how much daylight and precipitation we get outdoors. In the photos below you will see new growth and plants that are just hanging in there during this time of year. Controlling the water that is moving around and into the dome has helped these plants tremendously. Inside the dome, the south wall use a puddle along the walkway. I have added stone on the pathway and of course, the trenching has helped. Below are photos of that section. Outside the dome this time of year we usually have snow and lots of puddles in the meadow that surrounds the dome. Here are photos of what that area looks like. The meadow where the dome sits is surrounded by woods that the river runs through. In these photos you will see what grows along the path during the winter, water moving slow to the drop-off. Stay Tuned I really need to get a video and some images up of my husband working on the trenching he did in this area. It is pretty interesting to see what was used to help move the water out to the woods and eventually to the river. I hope you will stay tuned for those updates. Let’s Connect In conclusion of sharing this documentation, I would really appreciate it if you leave a comment on this post. You are also invited to reach out to me and learn more on my contact page. I hope this post featuring water and dome life will help you or has inspired you to try something new in your home and garden. Happy Gardening,

Mystery Plant – I forgot I had this one! pink bloom on the cactus cactus collection in decemberr What’s not to love about the dome garden cactus collection during the winter season. I love how some of the plants take on a pink or red tone during the winter months. This is a bloom shooting out of one of the larger cactus in the dome from my summer garden. It looks like there is some mold coming on the older blooms that are decomposing. I still think they are pretty enough to share. My favorite little bloom is Oliver!

Hey Cindy – great to connect with you. Thank you for stopping by my site. This is a 20′ geodesic bio dome that we made using basic math and supplies you can find at local hardware stores. The wood came from home depot and lowes. The cover is a neat wrap from Germany but you can find it online in the USA. I am happy to share more with you. We are actually going to update the design in the new year after the last 5 years of learning about this structure.

Where did you get your dome? Love it I am in Ky and want to get one!!!
