A dome-shaped plant shelter for protecting seed germination and young plants in the ground compromising: at least two substantially identical mating sections, each section having a curved peripheral side wall with an open side, a narrow closed top end, a wider bottom end, an axis about which the side wall is formed, and a substantially continuous edge at the open side of the peripheral side wall, the two sections forming an enclosed interior space between them when the substantially continuous edges of the sections are placed against each other and the bottom ends of the sections placed on the ground; connecting means formed on the substantially continuous edges of both sections for readily and detachably connecting the sections to each other, the connecting means comprising a substantially continuous mating flange on each of the sections and integral with the substantially continuous edge of the section, each flange having a face extending substantially laterally away from the axis of the section for mating with the face of the flange of the other section, and male and female resilient snap connectors integrally formed on each flange face and positioned such that the male snap connectors of each one of the sections detachably engages the female snap connectors of the other of the sections when the mating flange faces of the sections are hand pressed against each other: means formed by the mating flanges for defining an access opening to the interior space; and closure means formed on the connecting means for selectively opening and closing the access opening to the interior space for selectively admitting ambient air and plant irrigation.
