Digital gardening has been an interest of mine for a long while.

Basically, it’s an alternative to a blog that focuses on the process of crafting something rather than the “final piece.” It’s about organically tending to the knowledge one creates. It’s a practice and idea that’s been around for more than 30-years now.

While I’d love to write a proper essay about the history of the practice, I’ll just point to Maggie Appleton’s insightful write-up.

I’ve always been disappointed I missed out on the internet’s “blogging era.” People would write blogs in response to another’s—either in reflection or reaction—in a more thoughtful, longform way.
