The digital garden flips the traditional idea of publishing. Instead of posting finished articles in chronological order like a blog, you build a living “garden of knowledge” online — a place where unfinished thoughts, notes, and ideas can grow and evolve over time.
Key traits:
- Not organized by time, but by connection
Entries are linked by topic or theme, not by date. It’s about building relationships between ideas. - Unfinished is fine
Rough notes, half-baked thoughts, and early drafts are welcome. Everything is part of the process. - Mistakes and experiments are visible
You don’t hide your learning curve — you share it. The garden reflects growth, trial, and error. - Form is flexible
There’s no standard format. You can mix text, diagrams, audio, video — whatever fits. - You own it
It’s not tied to a platform. You build and host it yourself, making it truly your own space.
If a blog is a shelf of polished articles, a digital garden is an ever-growing ecosystem. Some ideas bloom, others wither — but everything contributes to a broader landscape of thought. It’s a personal, evolving way to publish and connect ideas on the web.
