“A newly revived philosophy for publishing personal knowledge on the web.” [1]
“Gardening is a practice that treats a personal website as a constantly evolving landscape where you develop your ideas in public.” [1]
“deeply interlinked content – one of the hallmarks of a digital garden. People browsing your garden can jump between related pages anywhere on the site, rather than only being able to navigate posts in chronological order.” [1]
“Gardens are explorable… rather than structured as a strictly linear steam of posts. This is usually achieved through deeply interlinking notes where readers can navigate freely through the content… slowly grown over time…rather than creating “finished” work that you never touch again. You revise, update, and change your ideas as they develop, and ideally find a way to indicate the “done-ness” state to your reader…” [1]

“Gardening sits in the middle. It's the perfect balance of chaos and cultivation.”
“Gardens don't consider publication dates the most important detail of a piece of writing. Dates might be included on posts, but they aren't the structural basis of how you navigate around the garden. Posts are connected to other by posts through related themes, topics, and shared context.”

“Gardens are imperfect by design. They don't hide their rough edges or claim to be a permanent source of truth.”
“In performance-blog-land you do that thinking and researching privately, then shove it out at the final moment. A grand flourish that hides the process.
In garden-land, that process of researching and refining happens on the open internet. You post ideas while they're still "seedlings,” and tend them regularly until they're fully grown, respectable opinions.”
