    What is a digital garden

    A digital garden is an approach to publishing personal knowledge on the web. Different than a blog that contains polished articles in reverse chronological order. Digital gardens are more like work-in-progress wikis. A collection of unrefined, incomplete ideas that grow and evolve over time through constant tending (editing, rewriting and revising).

    Qualities of a digital garden

    • Organised by contextual relationships
    • Learning in public
    • Imperfection
    • Playful, personal and experimental
    • Diverse content mediums (videos, podcasts, short notes, long essays, sketches, ...)
    • Independent ownership
