A Shared Mission
A Growing Dome Above the Clouds
The Growingdome in the Clouds Foundation supports the Sir Edmund Hillary School Geodesic Growing Dome Project in Khumjung, Nepal. The project reflects a belief shared with TurtleBack: that a Growingdome can be more than a greenhouse. In the right setting, it can become a place of nourishment, education, resilience, and possibility.
High in Nepal's Khumbu region, access to fresh food is shaped by altitude, climate, transportation, and seasonality. The Growingdome in the Clouds Foundation exists to support improved nutrition, food security, education, and local resilience through a protected year-round growing environment.
This project is a powerful example of Livingry in action: practical design serving people, place, and purpose.
Education
Creating a living classroom where students can learn through agriculture, ecology, sustainability, and hands-on problem solving.
Resilience
Showing how a Growing Dome can help communities extend what is possible when climate and geography create real limitations.
