Wild Strawberry
A small plant that grows all across Canada in the woods or fields, often forming little colonies
Where to look – Wild strawberries grow where there’s lots of sun, in meadows and fields, on moist ground, along the edge of woods or roads, and on hillsides.
What to look for – Leaves grow from the base of the stem and are divided into three deep-toothed leaflets that appear before the flowers in spring.
When to find them – Each plant has three to five white flowers with yellow centers that appear in the spring and then become fruit that looks like miniature store-bought strawberries, ripening in early summer.
