“…as I wander the internet, I wonder where the digital gardens are that will connect me to fellow gardeners more deeply. More often than not, the digital gardens of today are botanic—privately owned online spaces made for visitors to fawn over while a “do not touch” sign looms in view. These private gardens are generative for our personal learning, but they are far from the communal gardens I grew up in that valued collective work and knowledge. Where are the digital gardens that lead us towards collective learning, play, and dreaming?”

I keep a digital garden! :-) it’s in the form of a newsletter called Handpicked where I share a list of links and analog photos every Wednesday. Last week’s featured my 7-yr-old’s pet snail, Matthew McConaughey. More often than not, there’s a swiss miss link in there too! xo
