Welcome to My Digital Garden

Welcome to the garden

I converted my blog into a digital garden 🎉. I’ve been working on this for a few months. For those who are uninitiated to what digital gardens are, here is a brief overview.

What is a Digital Garden?

In short, a digital garden is similar to a traditional blog. The main difference is that the content is meant to grow and be tended to over time, like a real garden. Rather than creating blog posts you never revisit, you create content in various states of “completion.” This allows someone to publish useful thoughts and ideas without the pressure of feeling like the content needs to be a complete article. It’s a blend of half-baked ideas and polished pieces, giving you the freedom to experiment and share knowledge more organically. Think of it as nurturing your thoughts over time and sharing an evolving journey with others.

How is My Garden Structured?

Content Types

I have two types of content: blog posts and notes. Blog posts are longer-form articles. Notes are short-form content. Notes can be a simple idea that doesn’t need much effort to write about or an idea I want to expand on later.

This post is a note because I will likely add more to it. It may become a blog post if I decide to expand the topic further.

My digital garden has three stages of growth: sprout, sapling, and evergreen. These stages indicate the maturity of the content. Sprouts 🌱 are early ideas that might need revision and attention. Saplings 🌿 are a step above—not fully developed but more fleshed out than sprouts. Evergreens 🌲 are complete and likely won’t be updated anymore. This flexible structure lets me share both polished articles and evolving thoughts. I decided to do this so I can be more dynamic and organic when I share.

What’s Next?

I plan to make a few more changes to my digital garden. The latest edited pieces will appear first. I have a plan to change the design so that it is easier to distinguish between blog posts and notes.
