What would you do if the world goes under? Tishiela Early wants to be ready should that post-apocalyptic nightmare come to fruition. It’s why the semi-truck driver of 16 years decided to venture from Middleburg, Florida to La Plata, Missouri. It’s where she joins members of The Garden, learning what it takes to live off-grid.
The controversial community is the subject of The Garden: Commune or Cult. This Discovery docuseries follows newcomers such as Early as they try to acclimate to a self-governing society guided by a council that includes founder Patrick, Tree, and Julia. They decide if an individual can stay after a 10-day initiation period.
