Where to Find Getting Started Resources and Example Obsidian Digital Gardens

The Obsidian Digital Garden plugin's own site is the starting point: it links to Getting Started, Features, and Plugins sections, plus a Discord server for community support. For examples, it points to the Obsidian Gallery maintained by GitHub user Jiri Sifalda, and lists featured sites built with the plugin. The site itself is published with the plugin, so it doubles as a working reference.

Getting started resources

The plugin is described as a free and open source publishing tool for Obsidian that publishes notes directly from Obsidian to the internet. It is feature packed, highly configurable and hackable, and lets you enable or disable features on a per-note basis — usable either as a full digital garden or as a simple note sharing solution.

From the site, the entry points are:

• Getting Started — the setup path for publishing your notes.
• Features — what the plugin can do, including per-note feature toggles.
• Plugins — related plugin information.
• Discord server — community support.

If you would rather skip the technical setup, the site notes that Forestry.md has launched as a cloud service offering one-click setup for hosting your digital garden without technical hassle. That is the main fork in the road: self-host the open source plugin, or use the hosted service.

Example digital gardens

The site states it is itself powered by the Digital Garden plugin, so you can inspect a live implementation directly. For a broader, updated list, it directs readers to the Obsidian Gallery maintained by GitHub user Jiri Sifalda, where community-created digital gardens are collected. You can also submit your own garden there.

How to use these resources

1. Open the plugin site and go to Getting Started to follow the publishing setup.
2. Check Features to decide whether per-note toggles and the configurable/hackable approach fit how you want to publish.
3. Join the Discord server if you get stuck or want community input.
4. Browse the Obsidian Gallery and the featured sites above to see real layouts and structures before committing to your own.
5. If setup effort is the blocker, evaluate the Forestry.md cloud service as the one-click alternative.

A practical check before choosing: open two or three featured sites and note how they organize notes, then compare that against what the plugin's per-note feature toggles let you do.
