The Garden

The Garden, formerly known as Shut Up and Grow It, is an egalitarian, alternative, leaderless (leaderful), community, propagating a culture of sharing, freedom, and cooperation.


The Garden is a place to sprout, bloom, and grow in harmony with nature- where one can take responsibility for their impact on the Earth, and live in a wholesome way, while helping and giving to others.

The Gardens main purpose is not to be a solitary community but rather to be a part of a network of mutual aid. It is important for us to grow seeds to be spread and sown in other communities.
