The Garden: Commune or Cult
Overview
Set on 22 acres in the American South, The Garden is a unique community operating outside conventional societal norms.

As questions swirl around its cult-like atmosphere, this season offers an unprecedented look behind the scenes. Cameras capture the community's expansion into the Ozarks, revealing how this cooperative, "leaderless" enclave embodies a post-apocalyptic ideal, thriving amid the remnants of modern civilization.
