Indoor gardens

An indoor garden develops through observation of light, growth and the conditions around each plant.

SESSION 01

Establishing a reference

An indoor garden develops through observation of light, growth and the conditions around each plant. Plants have different light requirements. A useful working note records the context and the purpose of the study. Keep the details that explain what was noticed, and distinguish them from ideas that emerged later.

SESSION 02

Describing the setup

A pot and its drainage influence the conditions around roots. When revisiting a series of observations, begin with the original context. Record the order of the work and keep the first descriptions alongside any later interpretation.

REFERENCE SERIES · NORMALIZED VALUES

Illustrative reference data, not live measurements.

SESSION 03

Reading the first observation

The next pass through indoor gardens focuses on comparison. New growth offers one way to observe a plant over time. Look for the relationships between the details and retain enough context for another reader to understand the study.

SESSION 04

Working with variation

An indoor garden develops through observation of light, growth and the conditions around each plant. Plants have different light requirements. A useful working note records the context and the purpose of the study. Keep the details that explain what was noticed, and distinguish them from ideas that emerged later.

SESSION 05

Comparing the records

A pot and its drainage influence the conditions around roots. When revisiting a series of observations, begin with the original context. Record the order of the work and keep the first descriptions alongside any later interpretation.

SESSION 06

Interpreting a diagram

The next pass through indoor gardens focuses on comparison. New growth offers one way to observe a plant over time. Look for the relationships between the details and retain enough context for another reader to understand the study.

SESSION 07

Recording the conditions

An indoor garden develops through observation of light, growth and the conditions around each plant. Plants have different light requirements. A useful working note records the context and the purpose of the study. Keep the details that explain what was noticed, and distinguish them from ideas that emerged later.

SESSION 08

Reviewing the method

A pot and its drainage influence the conditions around roots. When revisiting a series of observations, begin with the original context. Record the order of the work and keep the first descriptions alongside any later interpretation.

SESSION 09

A second pass

The next pass through indoor gardens focuses on comparison. New growth offers one way to observe a plant over time. Look for the relationships between the details and retain enough context for another reader to understand the study.

SESSION 10

The limits of the study

An indoor garden develops through observation of light, growth and the conditions around each plant. Plants have different light requirements. A useful working note records the context and the purpose of the study. Keep the details that explain what was noticed, and distinguish them from ideas that emerged later.
