The 4-H Strawberry project area consists of two project manuals. Each manual covers one year of activities.

  • Strawberry Planting - You should be interested in working with strawberries for at least two years. The size of the planting is determined by you and a parent. A minimum of 25 plants is required for the first year.
  • Strawberry Harvesting - Harvest the berries from plants started in strawberry planting project the previous year. Records of labor, income and expenses are kept. If you want to enlarge the planting, you should enroll in strawberry planting, also.
