Introduction
The Gardening-Trail is a community-building project in partnership with the SteemTrail initiative. The idea is that people will be more inclined to join Steemit and stay active over the long term, if they can find communities of people with common interests - like Gardening!

What Would You Like on the Gardening-Trail?
To focus on building a gardening-focused community, I've taken an inclusive approach to curation. A post doesn't have to be "perfect" on all counts.

There is more than just photos. I like photo essays, but when there is some related written information, or thoughts and perspectives.
I like garden updates. But not on a daily basis. Just when there is something notable going on.
