Foraging Wild Strawberries (Fragaria sp.)

Post by Watchman »

Wild Strawberries (Fragaria sp.) are a common sight in midsummer, and you can harvest them anywhere from lawns to woodlands. They have few look likes, so identifying wild strawberries is simple, even for children.

Wild strawberries are one of the simple pleasures of summer, and they grow just about anywhere their seeds are dropped. They don’t mind part shade, and they’ll gladly fruit in sandy soil that doesn’t support lawn grass.

They’re not picky about their environment, and they’ll grow with abandon given space.

The bright red berries are especially attractive to little ones, and my toddlers would spend hours scouring the lawn looking for these little jewels. It helps that they’re down low at a baby’s height and perfectly sized for little fingers. READ FULL ARTICLE HERE
