Emotional – Wild strawberries are small but they still offer great benefits. They are high in vitamin C and help to keep your blood healthy and strong.
Physical – Collecting wild strawberries can help you to enjoy the outdoors and recognize where these patches grow just outside your door.
Mental – Choosing wild strawberries can help you to appreciate the work it takes to harvest food and how abundant food is found all around us.
Spiritual – Strawberries are the leaders of the berries and are a great gift from our mother. They are honored in their own ceremony.
