Digital garden

18 May 2025 [original 17 September 2023]

A Digital garden is a form of website where the author cultivates ideas and learning in public.

A digital garden’s content is always growing. Planting new ideas is not everything and A digital garden must be tended to like a real garden allowing ideas to have the space to flourish.

You’re in a digital garden right now.

The Maggie Appleton article, A Brief History & Ethos of the Digital Garden provides further context for this type of writing and knowledge sharing.
