You walk in here, it's just like another world.

There's so much going on between the pond and the herb garden and the cover crops.

Here we are at the Geothermal Greenhouse Partnership location at Centennial Park in the town of Pagosa Springs, Colorado.

Situated right on the San Juan River, we're standing in the education Dome right now.

That was the first one built.

We have two other domes that were built, the community Garden dome and the Innovation Dome.

These domes are heated with the assistance of geothermal heat, we here in Pagosa Springs are strategically and fortunately located above a accessible geothermal heat source.

In this case, we've channeled that geothermal heat into plumbing.

And that actually where we're standing in these pathways, there's heating below us.

We're up at above 7000ft.

So our soils around here are kind of characterized by heavy clay and shale and not always super ideal for growing.

Yes, we can grow food outside, but we're limited to with our short season.

And that's where the domes come into play, is really, we can grow food year round that we otherwise couldn't just be able to produce greens regularly in the winter time is a big piece.

We have a number of food pantries in this town, and so a lot of the produce in these domes goes to those food pantries.

We have zero paid staff members.

This wouldn't tick without the help of a lot of volunteers.

My name is Savannah Sullivan and this is my second season volunteering with the GGP.

Really, I was just new to town and walking down here.

I've always been interested in gardening and I've worked with like different landscaping companies.

So I popped in and they just kind of welcomed me in and taught me the ropes.

I'm usually out here once a week checking out plants, making sure they look healthy, transplanting plans, starting seeds, taking care of the fish.

It's just fun.

It's like a little, little piece of me.

I think the coolest part about this whole project, in my opinion, is the visibility.

We're really centrally located being right in town, right along the river.

Routinely I see people walking through here stopping to congregate, whether it's in our amphitheater right outside, or stop into any of the domes or the gardens right here on site.

And so it's really a community hub.

If people want to learn how to grow food and work with others, then come on in.
