I’m Holly Zijderveld, this is my web garden. Although, on second thought, it’s very small, so maybe it’s more like an allotment or a balcony or a patio.
Most generally, I am working around themes of connection, collection, and computing, in the broadest ways you can understand these terms. I interact with these ideas through writing (poetry, fiction, & essays), publishing & editing, research, event & community organising, illustration, research, and textile. These ideas also play into my work in technical research support.
Garden opening hours:
The garden has no upcoming opening hours (aka I have no concrete events planned).
I am always helping with events at the Internet Archive Europe. You can see what’s upcoming here.

holly garden is not only this little place on the internet, it is also my publishing garden Standing outside of the house, organised but unruly. Things happen here together, let’s have a barbecue, let’s try to sunbathe under the apple tree. Listed below are the projects of holly garden. For now most of these are are.na links, but better documentation is coming!

leaving behind the darkness, I’m trying to wake up earlier in the morning, trying to somewhat watch the sun rise. shaking off the cobwebs, the frost keeps biting, a light blue feels most appropriate.
