#BonsaiCommunity: You can help us grow and share on Steemit!
WHAT does the #BonsaiCommunity on Steemit mean to you? I hope it means something, because if it does, you should read this.

Go ahead and type 'bonsai' into your search bar on Steemit - thanks to some well-placed advice from the now known #BonsaiCommunity members, some real, relevant content appears on Steemit.
But, is that enough? In my honest opinion I don't think so.
As such, help us continue to grow this community so that we can continue to share our wealth of knowledge and not just continue to learn from each other but also, teach others who may be interested in this ancient art.
Are you yourself a bonsai lover? Would you like to get onto the bandwagon and join the #BonsaiCommunity?
It's easier than you think.
We use the #TeamBonsai (I'd like to include #BonsaiCommunity as well from now on) hash tag to help track and find bonsai related content and also make use of the below .gif image, which you may use if you like - you could even make your own if you want to.
giphy.com is great for creating .gif images
So, please help us continue to grow the existing community even further - upvote this post and resteem it to your hearts' content.
The known #BonsaiCommunity members include (and you should follow them for cool content):
@creativetruth | @daniellozada | @romanolsamuels | @bonsaiaustin | @imagendevoz | @synekto
Comment below with your handle and, if you post bonsai related content your handle could appear above.
I would also like to include horticulturists in future posts - so feel free to comment with your handle and it could also be added.
I'll be making the "The known #BonsaiCommunity members (and horticulturists) include" a standard add-on in each of my bonsai related articles from this point on - so this would serve as great exposure for those who want to share their content and grow their reputation and following.

Been running around like a mad dog - I actually typed this out at 3am this morning and just copied and pasted everything just now. I'll have a look right now. Thanks for the feedback. I'd really like to grow the #BonsaiCommunity and #TeamBonsai as much as possible - we deserve to be able to learn from each other and help others to grow just as much.
Thanks @imagendovoz. I still give you credit for creating the community organisation for us here, and some of us have been adding to it ever since.
Today I was thinking a lot about how to aid ongoing resources for bonsai searches. The best I can think of is to continue to promote recent articles to the front, so others can find us, and follow our trails back. I was even thinking of providing a post twice weekly to promote the best current bonsai posts recommended by others, but I am not sure I want to make that a regular task of mine. Let me know if you come up with more ideas or strategies. I am happy to support a cause if it sounds good.
To be honest - I have no ideas. I just come up with stuff as I go along. Like the recent additions to the bottom of each of my bonsai related articles from now on - and of course the mentioning of other Steemians who post bonsai related articles. The nice thing about this is that you can hyperlink your most recent content somewhere in the article and also, if you find useful content from others, this could also be included in such a manner. I'm also thinking of just copying and pasting this precise article and running it maybe bi-weekly or once per month to keep the awareness running and growing. Thanks for the valued feedback, I do appreciate it. PS. I just did another super cool history piece if you are keen.
