What is a Digital Garden 📀

A digital garden is a public, evolving personal knowledge space—think of it as an online notebook, wiki, or compendium, where you plant “seeds” of ideas and let them grow organically over time. Unlike traditional blogs, where posts are finished products published once and for all, digital gardens feature unfinished notes, connections between ideas, and ongoing revisions. It’s a space for continuous learning and sharing, embracing “work in progress” and linking thoughts through internal references and bi-directional links. Digital gardens are inspired by knowledge management methods like Zettelkasten and the Second Brain movement. Platforms like Obsidian, Roam Research, and Notion are popular for building them. They’re less about perfection, more about cultivating intellectual transparency and learning in public.

🌱 Starting My Digital Garden: Where Ideas Grow Over Time

I recently discovered the concept of a digital garden—a living, evolving knowledge hub where ideas are planted as seeds and gradually cultivated into meaningful insights. Unlike traditional blogs, digital gardens are public notebooks: unfinished, ever-changing, deeply interconnected.

Why am I building one?

• To connect my thoughts, document my learning journey, and refine insights as I go.
• To promote intellectual transparency over polished perfectionism.
• To foster community and knowledge sharing—learning in public.
