So refreshing to see young people being positive respectful and self-reliant. Its helpful to me knowing there are places like the garden; I hope you continue to thrive,, setting examples to others
Same just seen the vice episode randomly when I was searching on alternative intentional communities to buy a house. So far no luck. But I really want to stop exploiting our earth it's just all I know 💔 Is there a way to donate to TheGarden. Even send supplies. Like an off-grid refrigerator to keep things longer? Or a list of things the community may need to keep growing? I love what you are all doing for the world it's amazing.
Your videos of the garden are all so fantastic and they really make me excited to visit one day it's a damn shame the people on the internet didn't embrace you with the same love and optimism that you embraced them.
Yeah, it’s OK though the people that matter seem to have seen through the lines and reached out, the others are just always going to think what they think, thanks for the comment!
I think what you all are doing this awesome. Screw all of the negative people with there negative comments. It sucks yall closed down to the public but I understand the reasons. Maybe one day when all the b.s. is cleared yall can open the doors to a few to see how yall live first hand. Take care yall!
I love the way you guys live, it seems so genuine and kind. I’ve been wanting to live like this for a long time now and you guys put to show that it really can be done :’)) living amongst our modern society i often find it hard to ever even imagine making it the way you guys can..but I really do hope it can happen someday. Me, my bf, pets, and some friends in a calming and collaborative community. Would really be the dream life. Thank you for sharing all you guys do, it is truly inspiring. And to me, is the way we were always meant to live on earth, best for humans and for the planet. Please keep posting and ignore the haters, you got this Also side note- I don’t know if you’ve done this yet but could you do a video on how you guys came to be or how you guys lived before the commune started up? I’m just interested in how everyone came together and decided to make it happen.
OK thank you that is an awesome suggestion! And thank you so much for letting us know that it is inspiring for you, that is so great to hear and keeps us going
These people are truthful and articulate and they are living a real life , they're not thinking about ways to look perfect on social media . It's the one who do look perfect and won't share anything untill you're in. Those are the ones you gotta watch. Cults usually always have a leader , Not the transparency I see here. Nowadays people don't know about squatting , homesteading , hippies and communes. Most of the rainbow people have died off because it was a different generation. If they have parents and grandparents that were hippies or rainbow people then they can understand them. I know these people are not a cult , they just want to live a real life in a community of like minded people. They want to be free that's all. That's what I see , I was a homesteader as a young adult in the mid 80s . There were still real hippies around from the sixties and those elders were like druids , they taught me many things. I don't see anything culty about these people . I watched another video about the garden and they titled it cult or commune. So yeah definitely not a cult.
Thanks for your position! I feel like people who haven’t lived in a commune or Homestead type culture just really have a fundamental misunderstanding about it
You are so much better than the hate that was put out there. You guys are amazing and I wish you may continue to thrive. The planet needs more of this and I pray that this becomes more the norm..
I was enslaved in a cult for the first 20 years of my life. It's so annoying to see people who clearly have no idea what they're talking about go off about how this is a cult. I'm sorry you have come under such attack by ignorant folks. I would like to visit someday, since this seems like a lovely place. Free land for free people is the opposite of what a cult is. There is no freedom in cults. Love and peace, brother!
@@TreeandJulia Not ALL you’d want to hear but I have found if you can get people to agree on one thing, it’s much easier after that to begin agreeing on others. It works.
Bless you all! Do not let anybody or anything put you down. Stay strong, you are doing good. Those who try to make a change always will be tested. You survived and you have more support than you think. Vice video really helped your cause. Keep up the good spirit. I love what your doing. Big hug from Germany Yessamyn
Man, your way of living is awesome. I think your community is ushering the true future of humanity. Civilization is out. Your community is the the seed of the new natural humanity, away from the bionization that the world is going towards now. Keep up the good work. All the love and support from here, Egypt. Your brother Mohamad. Thank you for giving a good example and inspiration for us to walk your way. Peace.
Im curious. Did you allow your native medicines grow and are you learning all about them? How about the importance of pollinators a d the effects they have on your gardens? Here I’ve become medicine self-taught. I didn’t need to plant them as they all grow naturally all around the outskirts of our forest. Now we want to use the land to have others walk the trail and passively learn. We have harsh winters but can enjoy the outdoors a good deal of the year. Namaste.
That’s awesome! I would love if you came to our fall event and spread some of your wisdom, we do keep lots of wild areas for natural pollinators and also allow the natural edible herbs and medicines to prosper
Keep it up! Your lifestyle reminds me of how Real Goods Solar Living Center in Hopland, CA (Mendocino County) was run for years and years. People would come from all around the world to their 12 acres, live on the property and learn permaculture, recycling, sustainable living, solar, gardening, building with cobb, etc. Many aspects were communal. Although there were rules, and bosses, the lifestyle was VERY similar. Some people would stay for a year or more... some left after 2 weeks. For many years I met a lot of cool people up until the business was sold (around 2019ish). I believe this business model was active for almost 40 years.
Sucks that you have people online who try to build fame by tearing down others who don't deserve it. You guys seem alright, and it looks like you guys have fun.
Guys girls lady's gents don't feed the trolls if you respond to them that's means they got to you so delete the trolls and ignore them and they will go away trust me I know .
It's wonderful to see that there are people out there trying to make something new and self sustainable. I'd love to come see for myself. The crap vice put out was b.s. btw small minds fear what the don't understand. Really awesome.
Hahahah some communities have a business integrated. The garden doesn’t which is nice because it keeps that out of our focus. for Personal needs people figure out their own finances. I (Julia) bartend in NY part of the year. I don’t really ask about other peoples financial sources
It changes throughout the year as the community changes drastically throughout the year, but I have lived there with newborns and people in their late 60s
I love your videos 💞 I hope I can visit the Garden someday. You guys are awesome. I got hungry watching you pick all that fruit lol. I love stevia by the way!
Just watched the Vice piece....My assumption would be that some random wokesters & Unhinged Deviants turned up at the the garden,tried pushing their bullsh*t ideologies and demands....The Gardeners then politely told them to "F*ck Off !!!!". Needless to say Salt ensued on Tik Tok.... I really do wish the Gardeners the best of luck,they look like they're having a good time....
Sounds about right...People are getting dumber and dumber by the day... Theres always something for people to complain about or try to cancel these days. When in doubt.... Get outraged!!!
Love your setup there. I'm curious about "council". Can you go into more detail or do a vid on it? I went to a school in the 90's that had a similar "civil discussion" meetings... 3 times a week. Happy living!
Keep up the good work. It’s so gross that those tik tok folks attack what they don’t understand. The assumptions they make say a lot about how they view the world. ✌️ ❤
@@TreeandJulia sorry if it was intrusive to ask about the land, I would just love to someday find a way to do the same thing so I am curious how others have done it. It's none of my business I didn't mean to be rude. I saw someone mention donations, maybe you guys could get a p.o. box if there's a post office near you? I'm sure so many others who watch would also love to send things :) my love and positivity to everyone
So do you guys move the outhouse around? Definitely needing to learn more about out houses and how to maintain them! Ours is ripe! I almost gagged every time I go in! 🤢🤮 HELP!
I know this video is old so you prob won't read this comment buy I feel the need to ask, have you guys considered the possibility that the reason u get somany "cult" accusations is likely because of the religious connotation of you calling yourself "the garden". It is rather likely that you would not have received so much negative attention if you called yourselves say a big happy family for instance.
@@TreeandJulia I've been wanting to buy a lot and build a monolithic dome with a basement like a mushroom, and a stone oven-BBQ pit. It would be funny if I bought a lot near you guys and I could lend you guys some sugar lol. You can make a septic tank with a few garbage cans.
@@TreeandJulia realizing you guys are in us I'm in UK with all the mandates I'll never adhere to I doubt I'll ever be able to travel, what an inspiration you guys are though!
@@TreeandJulia oh and I checked out the Vice doc and they're just trying to get views (money) what sells more, 'cults' or happy people living off the land, there only intention was to get more views, like the lass that has made her tick toc just to slate you even said on vice she doesn't think you're a cult she just says it to get more views, for the sake of insulting people and effecting your mental healths what a plank, let people think what they want while they eat there poison food and sit in front of TV all day, clearly they think they got it better 🙈🙉🙊 big love and all the positivity I can give from Lincolnshire 💚💙❤️
@@TreeandJulia Good to hear yall are back open to the public.. Dont let the crazies on social media dictate your dreams. They will complain about anything, and will quickly move on and find something else to complain about. Yall are doing something good.
Hey this is Katelyn. I wanted to see if you are still at the Garden. My boyfriend and I would love to come visit if that would be okay with everyone. I really want to experience how everyone does things and we can always pull are weight and then some. If you could message me back with any information I appreciate it.
I am not able to make it down there this weekend. I wish I could. Is the Garden open to the public now? That way I can plan coming down and give my job a advance notice.
Sending you love ✨️

Thanks for saying that, it means a lot
Good for you guys, this community seems like a lovely place to be!
I don't think they are a cult. They don't really meet the criteria. Hate is never good. They seem to be getting a lot of that. Shalom
Gotta keep those mushroom logs damp with a spray bottle!
Vice did a straight up hit piece on the place...seems fine to me. Live and let live.

Message me or tree on instagram treeisalive and Juliainstagod!
What is the age range of the community? I feel like this type of living is something I’d like to look into further.
It changes throughout the year as the community changes drastically throughout the year, but I have lived there with newborns and people in their late 60s
Wow, i would love to come visit your lovely community, are people just allowed to show up or do you appreciate heads ups.. lol
We prefer they just show up
