Even though our Growin’ Bag is meant for the Summer and
Spring seasons, that doesn’t mean you can’t yield strawberries
in the winter. Winterizing instructions vary in different zones:
Winterizing
• Zone 5-7:
Move the bag to a
cold garage with
a temperature
below 50 degrees
Fahrenheit. It should
be above freezing.

• Zone 8-9:
Move the bag out-
doors in a protected
spot where it can
receive natural
rainfall.
Water the bag lightly every four to five weeks to keep the soil
barely damp. Move the bag outdoors in early spring.
