Strawberry Picking at Flowergarden Strawberry Farm

The experience is guided, so even beginners can learn best practices for strawberry harvesting. According to reviews, the organic strawberry jam-making activity is a lovely bonus, giving you a tangible souvenir of your trip.

We loved the way the guides make this farm activity feel authentic and not overly commercialized. One reviewer, Chi, called the Korean garden “wunderschön” (beautiful) and appreciated the fun of the railbike with children. Another traveler, Al, mentioned that although the day was packed, it was “so much fun,” highlighting how engaging the activities are.

Note: The tour guarantees 230g of strawberries plus the jam, but if the harvest is limited, you’ll still get a smaller portion, around 150g, plus the jam-making option.
