What is a Digital Garden

A Digital Garden is a personal online space where you collect, organize, and share knowledge in a way that grows and evolves over time—kind of like tending to plants in a real garden.

Instead of being a finished, polished blog, a digital garden is more like a living notebook or knowledge base. Notes are often interconnected with links, and old entries can be updated whenever new insights come in.

Here’s the breakdown:

• Purpose: To capture ideas, notes, research, and resources in a way that you can continuously refine.

• Structure: Usually non-linear; instead of a chronological feed, it’s organized by topics, tags, or connections between notes.

• Style: Notes can be rough drafts, half-formed thoughts, or detailed essays—there’s no pressure to be “perfect” before publishing.

• Tools: People often use tools like Obsidian, Notion, Roam Research, or custom websites to host their gardens.
