About SG STRAWBERRIES Team in Singapore

 

 

Hi Everyone,

These are the faces behind our blog.

The forefront of the above picture is Summer, my daughter, an aspiring writer, and the catalyst of our strawberries journey.

Behind her is my niece, Shona, an aspiring dancer and game for anything sweetheart.

This blog started because we wanted to share our strawberries journey in tropical Singapore.

Our adventure began in earnest when the media picked up our story in 2015.

More cool plants graced our windows and expanded indoor gardens.

Do check out our pages on fruits, herbs, greens, and exotic plants.

As a mom, I like to fulfill their dreams, capture precious moments with our journals, and be engaged in projects to research and studied together.

I hope this blog will help the kids remembered their great childhood and be able to share this with their own children when they are grown up.

We had a wonderful time growing our strawberries, met many new friends, and cherished all our experiences while sharing this learning journey.

Our dream of picking homegrown strawberries in Singapore has come true.

Hopefully, our blog will help others grow strawberries (and other cool stuff)  in Singapore.

Sincerely,
