Why Bother Growing Strawberries in My Backyard? I Have a Nice Lawn and I Can Buy Fruit at the Market. It’s Easier That Way.

Well, it might be more convenient, but is it better? A well-maintained strawberry bed can be just as much of a garden decoration as a neatly trimmed lawn.

Moreover, contrary to the fears of many “lazybones,” I want to assure you that strawberries do not require much work and are an ideal choice for beginner gardeners, especially when small children visit our garden. For them, a strawberry bed will certainly be a bigger attraction than even the most beautiful lawn.

Growing strawberries offers children the joy of watching plants grow, and the opportunity to pick and eat fruits straight from the bush, which can be a fascinating and educational experience.

Growing strawberries on your own is a relaxing hobby that brings great satisfaction from home-grown fruits. It is worth remembering that strawberries from your garden are usually tastier and of better quality than those bought. Additionally, we can be sure that they are free from pesticides, which always makes them a healthier choice.

And the last issue: in the long term, growing your strawberries is always cheaper than buying them regularly.
