These people are not homeless, they are home LESS, Self LESS... and more of what I wish our world was like, a community. Bees working in a colony for the greater purpose. ❤️
I especially love the part where everyone is carrying the downed tree up the side of the mountain... its like a metaphor for how one person couldn't possibly do this thing alone, but in community we can do anything. Stronger together!
I was the happiest I've ever been when I lived with the rainbow for a year. I lived in a school bus that ran off of veg oil. We converted it into a home . Left for the woods. I met the most beautiful people and really miss it . Went back to Babylon and finished law school. Years go by and time goes by so fast . ❤
First 3 days you can do nothing ..I'd feel bad maybe first day awsom to see people working together helping each other .wow the voice on the guy is awsom and the music 🎵.💚..
Love this video Julia. I love and admire the sense of community, and seeing everyone work together. What can be accomplished and the sustainable way of living. Thanks for sharing😊
Not my way of living, but that’s what’s so awesome about this video! I get insight into how others choose to go about living their life and what makes them happy. Tons of respect for this community and what they strive to accomplish in their future endeavors. Also, this video was done SUPER well! I loved it!!! Had my attention the whole time. I look forward to following your adventures. Thanks for sharing with us!
I found out about your community from Vice. Glad I found the RU-vid page. I am not going to be cruel like others have been as no one in this world is perfect. I like to see people with unique creative life solutions. Can't wait to watch you guys grow
I want to sell everything well mostly everything and buy a small buss or van and come and live there. I've wanted to do it for so long. I love the idea of growing food and living in a community of like minded people.
You guys are awesome! I'm pretty sure you made it in one of vice's videos a year a couple years ago we're they go to rainbow. I lived off grid for while in a commune in Oregon before we lost the land. I'd love to visit y'all
The Garden reminds me of Rainbow Family Gatherings except it's a year around event. "Free land for the free people!" Rock On Brothers and Sisters. I'll stop by when I down in the Tennessee to say hello and work stay for couple days or so.
Hey doods. Just watched that documentary on you guys, and while that kind of lifestyle definitely isn't for me, I respect you guys for putting a sustainable community together. I just don't think I could live without my computer, video games and other entertainment, not to mention refrigeration for food (my sister on the other hand would probably jump at the opportunity, xD). Keep doing what you're doing. ^_^ Also, that stuff those trolls on the internet said about you is sickening! They should look inward at themselves before they judge someone else for how they want to live. I'll admit though, that thing with the cat irked me at first, as I am a cat-lover, but after thinking about it for a moment, it's probably how Native Americans would have handled the situation. So I'm over it. The internet gets mad at you for one stray cat, but then doesn't seem to care about what happens to thousands of stray cats everyday at shelters across the US. Anyway, just wanted to give my two cents on the matter. Here's to your community thriving for decades to come! :D
@@TreeandJulia But if everyone here is a tiktoker, are they really that far away from the screen? Like if I had a crazy ass synthesizer collection and that's the only thing stopping me from coming here, would there be a place for that?
It’s from December 2020, right when Tree and I arrived, before all the TikTok madness! Little by little we are getting there, we’re just trying to spread the word as much as possible!
I have a question. When someone dies in The Garden, do you guys follow a traditional burial and ceremony, or do you maybe just bury them and give them back to the earth? Or is it done another way?
“We don’t own anything; it’s only borrowed” Absolutely beautiful quote, the man who said all of those amazing words is truly inspiring to me. Every word that came out of his mouth was beautiful, he is an amazing being
'We are stardust, we are golden, and we've got to get ourselves back to the garden'. Not my words, the lyrics from 'Woodstock' by Joni Mitchell. Way back in 1969. I was just 8 years old! Never the less, the message never changes. Living WITH nature as opposed to just using it, the ancient ways, they work and work well.
Just discovered the garden. How's it going this winter?? I'm over in WV right now and between jobs, so I'd like to come over and check out the place. I'm a career software engineer and architect of all things in general. I either want to join a community like this or start my own if needed.
You’re welcome to stop by and visit for three days! It is a great place to get inspired for starting new projects, and meet people who might want to collaborate on something like that
Im a over the road truck driver and bought and built a 30 foot off grid camper. Im desperately looking for q safe place to live where my stuff is still safe while im gone 3 weeks at a time.
What state are you located in? There’s places all over the country where they might let you do this. The garden is not really a great place for storage
I hope it will work out for you with a land. I tried to find you on facebook, but couldn't. People's Project is totally different people. Can you give us a link?
I am a big fan of freedom and small communities like this. But I'm curious how they decide who can join. Is there a vetting process? What happens if someone goes there and doesn't really pull their own weight?
It’s just something the community talks about on a case by case basis, at the Garden there’s a 10 day visitation period After which you can ask to stay longer and if it’s a good fit and people feel like you’re plugging into the community then a longer stay can be arranged
reminds me of my early days in America which was more free and communes were more common. best lessons i learned at being a good human trying to spiritual evolve came from those memories/experinces and peoples. I wish you two the best, keep evolving and practice accepting others..
@@TreeandJulia northern Vermont had one but was odd getting in and some red flags, southern Vermont rainbow summers 1980's. some others but the sustainability wasn't as structured and dedicated as the garden. jobs in town to make money. western mass renaissance commune was a good one started in the seventies from the band blood sweat and tears. but morphed into construction jobs, landscaping versus more traditionally off grid, grow your own. of course rambling when jerry garcia and the band was alive and well. Maine had some nice small communities, that were more self sustaining but the winters were hard. is the go fund me page active?? would like to help. keep the message strong, pay no mind to ''cult'' BS. say hi to tree for me the lad make me laugh rubbing the blarney. im old but work in mental health these days. most young people very lost and disillusioned, your way of life can heal many so glad your putting your lives out for others to see.
Property taxes? Security? There are bad people out there that would love to take what you have made. “Utopia” is an unattainable dream..as long as human nature exists. Just being real, but enjoy it for as long as you can.
Property taxes can be paid, security can be had, without it being front and center. Utopia is unattainable, you don't arrive there, it isn't a destination, it's a People.
I don't know why people have to judge how others live. People should ask themselves aren't their others judging how I live. I live with many sustainable practices in my life and repurpose many resources. Those that don't will never understand the need to or the teamwork it takes to. #gardenstrong
I just found out about your community and of course I get myself onto the disgusting human videos. Don’t know why but I recognize genuine people when I see them. Keep on the right path! ✌🏼
Different people are visiting all the time and often donate to new projects. We finance needs as they arise. We hoard lots of scavenged materials to have available.
@TreeandJulia I just saw the 1st episode of The Garden on Discovery and I felt like the filmers were trying to paint a negative picture, in a very manipulative and underhanded way. I think Tyler plays a double role, the fake one as if he's so enthousiastic and seriously interested to join the lifestyle and the real one to scrutinise the "real" motives of the commune, under the cover of trying to find out if the lifestyle and commune are something for him. I even suspect Narrayah infiltrated into the commune prior to the filming on behalf of the film makers, to stir things up without it being obvious that she is related. They play it well, but their characters are a bit too polished and too cleverly thought out. He plays the character of all American manly man and likable guy, that you don't fuk around with and is a man of his word that you can rely on. And she plays the character that most American women who were not the typical all-American cheerleader type of girl (like 99% of all women), can relate to and identify with. I don't think Narrayah knows exactly what's going on though or about Tyler's alterior motives. She probably is told she is there to see the "truth" as an outsider, of what's "really" going on on the inside. But if they told her to just go ahead documenting everything on film as if that's how she always does in her daily life, very well knowing that the Garden had a lot of negative experiences with exactly that, then I feel like it's a set up. The film makers are manipulating the public to be on the side of Tyler and Narrayah and therefore automatically form a negative opinion against the Garden. Tonight is the 2nd episode and I can't wait to see if I will feel the same. Keep up the good work and all the best to you!
It’s a pity how much crap you guys are getting. I think your community beautiful. I would consider being part of the community if it’s open. I would like to get with some musicians out there. I play guitar and write songs. And I’ve been to gatherings before so I know how it works. I’m a rainbow too, Lovin’ you!
You could dig a hole in the ground, add saw dust, insert metal trash can, add straw/hay to the sides of trash can in hole, then after you cover with lid, then add more straw or hay... then you will have your own free fridge...
@@TreeandJulia It works quite well too I might add I used something like this as did my dad and grand dad for many years at our cabin. Ours was a Box made of Tin 36"W x 48"L x 24"D The box was sitting on an 18" bed of sawdust as well as being surrounding on all four sides by 18" of sawdust This fridge was under the floorboards of our family cabin just inside the rear door farthest from the wood stove and kitchen it held about 36 degrees throughout the winter months and the warmest I ever seen it get was about 42 degrees . You can make a freezer using sawdust too, same principal you just have to make it much bigger, still insulate the outside with 18" or more of sawdust and than line the inside of bigger box with Ice cut from pond JUST BE EXTREMELY CAREFUL WHEN WORKING ON FROZEN WATER WAYS PLEASE! P.S. Love your video's , Love the Garden Intentional Community Idea, I'm presently building out a step van than hitting the road. I definitely want to visit both the Garden in Tn. and Mo. I could see these in every State.
I hate all the drama you all are getting. I now follow you and roadkill on TikTok! I love the way of living, well the thought of it, I’m not brave enough to do it though!
Im.definitely looking to move off grid, but I'm a High Functioning Autistic Adult at 44 yrs old, I'd want to be more of a hermit. Im.not good with people. Most people don't share my views and I don't really understand most things people say and vice versa. I have everything a person could possibly need to move off grid, and start over including equipment for procuring food, gardening, building a cabin, and self protection, etc... I'm thinking very seriously about going off grid, but mist likely where people are not around me a lot. I have a Schizoid personality also, (not same as Schizophrenia). I've had a very rough life. And I only believe in just one God.
i really hope yall can get this place to be a good place, because there have been a lot of bad people to come and go from the garden, yall need a way to keep people like that out, like the dog skinner, when all that tiktok stuff was going around i disliked yall at first, but i came to realize that the place wasnt bad, it was just run like shit, hope you can make it better
You know i guess this kinda thing is for some people, but i could not live like this. But have no problem with hippies & bums & homeless going somewhere like this as long as the people are not interfering with the people who think this is not for them and i don't think those people should mess with these people.
id love to come stay with you guys for a bit. id love to make documentaries about your mission and help spread the word. i pray many blessings on you amazing beings.
@@answerthecall265 how is the place going to stay up and running with no money ...? More people? More resources? Travel ready to even acquire more resources? Who stays to watch it? Is the security tighter than the elites security?
It’s not so much a place to join as a movement to be a part of, there are many many places all across the US you can find. We do have an event at the garden in Tennessee in the spring in the fall that is a good time to come and meet people in the movement🙏❤️
I've heard so many terrible things about this place...... But its nice to see family working together , and the music is beautiful, good job on the video.... My only problem is the part of the video where dead animal gets chopped up and cooked, that made me uncomfortable, and feel really sad for the animal, someone told be a dog got killed there and it was cooked and eaten, I don't agree with any animals being eaten at all.... I wish bessing to you....
I'm vegan so meat is something I'm very much against. Tho, the meat you see in this video was actually recycled, brought to us by a hunter that wasn't going to even eat it, so I'm glad it could be used & not wasted :)
Why don't you use a clay pot and water, for a fridgerator?. I never lived communaly. But I did live off grid in a one room cabin down by the river for almost 8 years, with No electricity or running water, I stored rain water,
