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.

all good i'm just stupid. no need to include shit that seems irrelevant, i'm just really jonesin to take down some oogles.

very interesting that rel is banned again, i wonder if shes going to go back to new york with her family, go be with her sister in boulder, or do what most oogles do and hop a train to nowheresville and sidewalk sit for beer money.

ETA LMFAO im sure bitch

Theres a podcast about the garden.

https://open.spotify.com/show/4CqU4Gd9UbuP2NHnbZoKLp

I've not listened to it yet.
They've talked to Tree and Julia. I don't think they really know that much about the garden.
And talked to Qwent.

But apparently Rel has/is going to be on it! Her episode isn't up yet so I'll update this post when it comes out. If they talk about anything new or interesting.

Some amazing? art? by her in the meantime.

Eta: 19th April.
Rels episode still isn't out and they deleted the old episodes. The new ones are are just talking about the rainbow family which is just a whole other mess.

Good shit @large_farva. Easy to read for the most part but I did edit the links so the OP looks a little cleaner. Also made sure that all your links are archived through Archive Today. It seems there's more to the thread than what's in the OP. I suggest editing in the good stuff so it fleshes out the OP a little more. Once you do that, ding me and I'll move this to Community Watch.

How global TikTok fame nearly shattered an off-grid commune

Social media brought Tennessee’s The Garden global notoriety, spurring charges that it’s a cat-eating cult and leading to a member exodus. Now the commune’s future is in doubt.

Aren't these the ones who eat cats or am I thinking of someone else

Aren't these the ones who eat cats or am I thinking of someone else

Yes. They claim a feral cat was killing their chickens, so they killed it and Rel ate it

Rel has made her tiktok private, and i can't be assed to start posting videos up there to come off like a legitimate user, so please tell me one of you guys are on the inside of this to keep us updated with rel's adventures lol

No way this can possibly end well

They are on only 20 acres of land right next to a road. They do have gardens, but not enough to sustain all of them plus visitors. They go shopping for food and crap at walmart just like everyone else.

I noticed on the real estate docs there are no structures on this land? Gross.

The vice Documentary is real and its out!!

Trees doing some stupid QnA live stream ranbling on about horses and sustanable travel.
I'll edit this with more details in a little bit.

They mainly intreview tree and Julia who in my opinion dont know shit about what really happened there, there currently going between other communes.
There is a reccording of a commune meeting but obviously they knew it was being filmed so just came off as super scripted.

Its just a sob story from everone even the chick who blew up for calling it a cult in the first place. People on tiktok were telling tree the documentary did him dirty but its alot more positive then it could have been. Even Rel doesnt come off as gross as they could have made her.

Dissapointing, just about better than complete silence.

Julia and Tree are going to be putting out vlogs of themselves at The Garden. Their Discord is dead af as is the FB page, a recent comment from some random stating "have restricted exposure to new people at this time due to some issues related to social media".
