Gardening with kids is the perfect way to do this. This year we wanted to do some fun things in the yard with our almost 2 year old. We decided to build a wall of strawberries. What kid doesn’t love strawberries?

The project is quite simple.

The best way to grow strawberries

All you need is a used pallet,  potting soil, and some landscape fabric. And strawberries, of course. I highly recommend using organic strawberries and growing them without harmful pesticides. Strawberries have long been on the Dirty Dozen List as one of the fruits and veggies to definitely eat organic because of how much of the pesticides and herbicides they absorb.

Pallets are pretty easy to come by around here.

The end result is a fun wall of strawberries that kids can easily see and get to. What I love most about this i
