[[concept]]

Garden notes are processed notes in my my note-taking system that are not Lecture Notes, project notes, or daily notes. There are two sub-types of garden notes: "plants" and "not plants".

Plants are notes that use my note maturity system. The main types of notes that fall into this category are

• concept notes
• distillations
• writings
  Plant notes are meant to be edited and refined over time. This allows me to think about and use ideas even when they are not fully formed, then clarify ideas over time by filling in the gaps.

Not plants are garden notes that fall outside of the maturity pipeline. Growth and editing are irrelevant for these.

• seeds are informal but complete notes that I do not intend to alter and which may prompt the creation of new plant notes. thought notes and blog posts are examples of seeds.
• stones are like literature notes, but also include other types of media like films and art pieces. Also people and entities (organizations, companies, etc).

Lesser-used non-plants are

• Signposts are either purely navigational or serve solely as structural supports for the public-facing component of my garden. The Topics page is an example
• Greenhouses are close to what people call maps of content/MOCs. ex: any of the notes listed in Topics, my Thoughts/99 Media Lists/Quotes list
