I first heard about this concept from Morgan Harper Nichols,

“[Digital gardens] are online spaces where you can collect or share information…an organically grown collection of ideas, resources, and thoughts. It’s a place that you can create online that encourages continuous learning, exploration, and growth, much like tending to a physical garden. It’s a living ecosystem of interconnected insights where the ideas and concepts can bloom, cross-pollinate, or sometimes wither away. Unlike a static blog post or article that presents a finished thought, a digital garden’s content is often in a constant state of growth and environment.”

I was immediately intrigued. This integrates nicely with my own ideas about creative ecosystems and creative compost.
