The Garden / People's Project / EcoVillage Revolution / ShutUpAndGrowIt - Commune in Lafayette, TN that is totally not a cult

[large_farva]

Another tiktoker claims they had a live yesterday in which amill and britt joined, and the end result was that they decided to leave the Garden.

Reply to @sheistheslayer here’s the update friends.

Edie (@bookofedith) has created a short video on TikTok with music original sound. | Reply to @sheistheslayer here’s the update friends.

Amill has a new video up that shows him at a recording studio.

Since they've apparently left and his bio says don't ask him about the place, I'm going to remove them from the OP.


Definitely something fishy happening if these two decided to leave suddenly.

Here is the property data.

Looks like Patrick bought it 2009.

Also Found this post on a random blog.

The guy who wrote this post is full on crazy pants who both believes that everything in the world is manipulated by (((them))), Even the Nazis. Also believes that vitamins and zinc will keep you healthy and COVID is caused by 5G and vaping. So take it with a grain of salt.

All that being said he claims that the whole place is basically a cult of personality run by Patrick Martin.

 

[Asteroid Park]

I know everyone keeps saying "Look, another Jonestown" but this commune reeks of Manson Family vibes more than anything.
Hippies on a plot of land with no real knowledge of gardening, eating garbage, criminals laying low by camping out there? All the creepy undertones?
Yeah, let's keep an eye on this cult. We all know how it ended for the Spahn Ranch group.

 

[Comandante Marcos]

I really don't think this is even Manson tier shit, unless this Patrick Martin guy is that level of evil, which from what is posted I don't see much of him so it's hard to say. Young trustfundie hippies with matted dreadlocks and dirt encrusted bodies smoking way too much weed, eating garbage, and of course all the weird vibes.

This literally WAS the early and mid 70s, shitloads of these places around then, and most of the crustpunkz eventually grew up and rejoined society, especially after the apocalypse everybody thought was inevitable didn't happen and Reagan rebooted the economy. The rest either died of overdoses or simply vanished into the forests/deserts, never to be heard from again.

The cool thing now is that the hippies have the internet to sperg on, and nothing ever gets baleeted from the NSA data centers, so until the ChiCommies EMP the whole shitshow we get to enjoy the festival. If you really want to live off the land, do it Ted Style and build a shack in the forest and go it alone. There are Sandbox War (Iraq/Afghanistan) vets doing just this all over the West, but they know opsec so they don't sperg their efforts all over TikTok. Stoner hippie crustpunk trustfundies kill everything they touch, and don't know jack shit about true survival anyway.

But yeah, not much here atm, but def has potential and bears watching.

This person did more better research than I did and created this lovely youtube video summary

 

[Ero]

Did Patrick Martion delete his tiktok?

 

[Clostridium Botulinum]

Do they actually know how to garden? A common thread among hippie "communes" is ignorance of well.... everything. The ancom communities I've looked into seem to just want sex and weed on the taxpayer's dollar.
Homesteading requires a lot of effort and knowledge, especially initially.

Or you could do what CHAZ does and throw potting soil over cardboard, placed over a bit of grass.

Cody Ko did a video on The Garden today that he ended up privating fairly quickly. In his words he "didn't do enough research". I watched the video and knew there had to be a thread on them here. Idk why he felt the need to private the video, these people are at best creepy smelly manson wannabes. Here's a response Tree made to Cody

EDIT: I just want to add, these retards claim to want to live off the grid yet use the chinese app TikTok.

The video must have really ruffled their feathers for Tree and Julia to make a response.
Rel even went on the defensive in the comments on her most recent video on tiktok


The VICE story is in the works, Rel says they've signed a contract.


Just found this:
A free-living commune in Tennessee used TikTok to attract new members, but the strategy may have backfired

[u thought]

I can’t wait to see how this plays out. I imagine an ever changing cast quickly devolving and getting weirder.

 

[Anaspook]

Apparently according to Rel no one lives at the garden no one was invited to come live at the garden and we are all confused. https://vm.tiktok.com/ZMeUC4fDu/

Its also closed now. Patrick is one of the 3 guys who owns the land.

 

[dirt lamb]

Faggots feeling scared because theyre realizing exactly how crazy people think they are. I fucking hate vice for giving bigger platforms to morons like the bitch who kills animals just to taxidermy them, or these idiots, but i seriously hope they rip these oogles to shreds in their documentary

 

[KingFriko]

Its also closed now.

Things are getting interesting!

 

[737 MAX Stan Account]

Someone needs to sneak in and install hidden camera and microphones across the property and pitch this as reality TV. Maybe a spiritual successor to Kid Nation.

Another ex garden member has uploaded a youtube video
It was shared by quint on his facebook so I'm going to accept it as true for now.

Patrick Martion finds people to take to the garden and Tyler Holmes (unsure of spelling) AKA sparky spanky runs the garden

He claims he was there towards the start about 20 years ago in eary 2000, it was first known as Shut up and Grow it.
The cat/dog eating was not the worse animal abuse that was carried out. Thinks is ridiculous that they were allowed to trap a cat as he claims he was thretend at gun point and diven to the other end of the state for setting up humane traps
Every chicken farmer knows to keep chicks seprate and cats dont eat fully grown hens.
Patrick is an alcholic who drives around convincing people to go to the comune then kicking them out once they have got all the free labour they can.
They we getting a bad reputation for stealing from the town near the garden, called a group meating and decied how far to go travel so that the stealing wont ruin their reputaion.
He belives the rumors that their are predators there as he has never seen any background checks carried out. And fully belives it is a cult, not a commune.

Rel is the only one on whos still uploading on tiktok, and still taunting people about her skinning pets and eating roadkill.

Edits: strikethrough on stuff i misunderstood. Don't watch stoners talk on 2x speed.

for once im not trying to be offensive but is english your second language? or are you just high af?

either way, this is a fun update!

not sure if this has been linked yet but here is arielle's myspace with some family members listed
arielle gumson myspace and archive though old myspaces dont really save much on them, i figured the names might be fun to look into her more

more quick searching confirms her father to be robert gumson who seems to be visually impaired, and her sisters sarah and courtney.

you can find some old pics of rel all over robert's photos. i feel bad his youngest daughter turned out to be an animal abusing oogle lord.

Not a super detailed update because I don't know the best way to confirm this information with official bits.

I have archives but I still need to figure out how not to be retarded when I post here.

I'm pretty sure the legal owners of the land are Patrick Martion, Lillie Bonesteel-wineguard (Particks Ex and mother of his teenage children) and Patrick's Mother.
Lillie has been trying to sell her share for years and Patrick will not cooperate. She is planning to get lawyers.

I found this: Its

Spoiler: State of Tennessee Real Estate Assessment Data

No idea if its legit but does show that Partick owns it and his name is really Patrick Martin

Theres got to be some kind of court or police records on these people/land as it seams pretty accepted that Patrick is physically abusive to the point that him and Lillie can no longer meet face to face, talk of fines or other legal trouble for misusing the land and so many accusations of pedo, abuse, general sexual misconduct and just scummy illegal behavior.

Also it turns out Rel got banned from the garden for the second time recently. Not sure what the 1st one was for. But the 2nd was for continuing to post on tiktok after the garden "closed" non were because of her general pro genocide jokes/views.

Spoiler: No more Rel apparently

These are all based of accustations/messages in a group chat of ex members, take it with a grain of salt.

Spoiler: Ex garden visitors/My favorite rumor mill with too many screenshots

Spanky / Tyler Holmes Seams to be Patricks muscle in alot of situations, how ever most of the accustations have been by hunter who was "kidnapped" by Spanky


Hunter Robinson

I think he was really at the garden around 2012 for a year or so befor getting "kidnapped" off the property. Theres been convo that his story leaves out some "facts" sorrunding the situation.

Ayla Mamutoi
The owner of the dog who Hunter says Patrick poisoned when Patricks dog died

Spoiler: dead dog arguing

Theres also accusations of Child Neglect abuse and general missconduct involving kids.
Plus this lovely stroy where the birth of a child was hidden from the Dad and they now make the dad pay to see pictures of the child

Spoiler: Long shitty phone screenshot while i try and get a better copy

Dunno if this was the Update that was wanted but it all i got till i can found out more real names of people involved as hippies have a shitty internet trail. I do have plenty more group chat aruging and some other acusations im trying to find more information on.

Oh and if anyone can tollerate watching Quentins videos that be handy.

Thought it was in the 1st post so didnt put it in. Hes got a lisp I cant stand listening to so don't know what he chats about on there.

I can definitely add more. Im trying to organise everthing to be easier to read. It can be kinda confusing with all the different nicknames and I didn't think it would be that interesting.
