How Do Strawberries Grow? 🍓

0:00How Do Strawberries Grow?

LumiHave you ever wondered how tiny white flowers grow into sweet, red strawberries?

BrikWatch closely, right here under the stars, and our whole strawberry answer begins.

BrikBrik points to a quiet garden patch, every berry still small and green.

LumiNot one single berry out there looks red and sweet yet, only quiet green.

BrikGod the Father shaped the hills, the water and every little animal because He loves us, and He tells us: call Me Father.

LumiGood morning, dear friends! We are Brik and Lumi, and today we got up very early to watch the sunrise together.

BrikLook, the stars are still shining, and in a few minutes the sun will come up just for us.

LumiOpen your eyes wide and come along, today something special is waiting.

BrikCan you say patch? Patch. A small area of ground growing one kind of plant.

LumiEvery green berry out there is quietly waiting for its very own turn to ripen.

BrikGod the Father loves every one of us, and He wants each of you to be with Him in Heaven one day.

LumiBy morning, we will watch one tiny white flower begin its whole journey.

BrikEven in the dark, a scarecrow stands watch over the whole sleepy garden.

LumiA rabbit! Can you say rabbit? Rabbit.

2:00What Happens in the Strawberry Patch at Night?

BrikThe whole garden rests quiet, close together, safe under the wide night sky.

LumiCurled up like this, George waits patiently near her favorite berry patch.

BrikNot one single leaf in the whole patch stops its soft, gentle rustle tonight.

BrikThe Lord Jesus came to us from Heaven to show us the way to true joy.

LumiResting quietly like this, George feels warm and safe beside her two best friends.

BrikThe whole garden waits patiently.

LumiCan you wait quietly too?

BrikNot one star stops twinkling.

LumiGeorge leans into Brik's side, warm and safe among the sleeping berries.

BrikThe stars above the garden blink, calm and perfectly still tonight.

LumiA little cricket! Can you say cricket? A tiny bug that sings at night.

BrikIts small song rises and falls, soft and steady over the sleeping patch.

LumiMary is our Mother and the Queen of Heaven, and she always takes care of us.

BrikCan you say seed? Seed. A tiny part of a plant that could grow something new.

LumiEvery green berry out there is quietly growing its own tiny seeds outside.

BrikLet's build somewhere warm, right where we can rest before our long day begins.

BrikLook what we are building today, come closer and watch with us!

LumiA cozy wooden hut, hung with soft lanterns from one wall to the other.

4:20Why Is Giggles Scared of the Night Storm?

BrikWe are calling it The Lantern-Lit Strawberry Patch Hut.

LumiInside, wide wooden baskets wait empty, ready for tomorrow's first ripe berry.

LumiBlock by block, slowly, and it is already growing taller.

BrikBeam by beam, and lantern by lantern, rising warm against the dark.

LumiGeorge ambles up to the new hut, sniffing the fresh, warm wood.

BrikIt is finished! Look how beautiful it turned out.

LumiThe Lantern-Lit Strawberry Patch Hut is finished, glowing soft under the stars.

BrikFrom here, every ripening berry will stay warm, safe, and perfectly dry.

LumiAnd now a riddle, listen carefully.

LumiBrik counted every warm lantern glowing inside the brand new patch hut.

BrikHow many warm lanterns are glowing inside the hut tonight?

BrikTake your time, it is good to think a little longer.

LumiWell done, exactly right! I heard how beautifully you answered.

LumiThree warm lanterns, glowing softly. One, two, three.

BrikThree little lights, and every single one watches over the sleeping patch.

BrikTime to get to work, and work is much nicer when we do it together.

BrikOne small lantern, glowing softly right beside the tallest garden row.

LumiWe are calling it The First Patch Lantern.

BrikIts warm little glow lights up the nearest green berry just enough to see.

LumiWe did it, and we did it together.

LumiThe First Patch Lantern is ready, and three more will soon glow beside it.

BrikLook, out past the garden, a thick black cloud rolls in fast.

LumiThe whole sky darkens in a few quick seconds, and the wind picks up.

BrikA bright zigzag flashes across the whole dark sky, quick and silver-white.

LumiFor one whole second, the entire garden glows bright as daylight.

BrikDo not worry, Giggles, that flash is only bright light, quick and harmless.

LumiWe are right here together, safe and warm, and it is already rolling past.

BrikGiggles peeks out slowly, and the little hedgehog uncurls beside him, calm again.

LumiSomewhere in the wet grass, a frog croaks happily at every warm raindrop.

BrikCan you say thunder? Thunder. The deep, rolling sound after a flash of light.

LumiLight travels so fast, we see the flash long before the thunder ever arrives.

BrikThe rain patters gentle on every leaf, and the thick cloud rolls on by.

LumiLook, the sky is clearing already, calm and dark and full of stars again.

BrikGiggles hops up, giggling with relief, glad the whole sky is quiet once more.

BrikTime for a question, think for a moment.

LumiBrik counted every bright star peeking back out after the clouds rolled by.

BrikHow many bright stars are peeking back out over the garden?

LumiHave a think, we will wait for you.

BrikBravo, that is it! You are real Dream Builders.

BrikFive bright stars, peeking back out. One, two, three, four, five.

LumiFive little stars, and every single one shines calm again over the quiet patch.

LumiBring the blocks, dear builders, we are starting something new.

9:20Why Is the Sky Turning Gold Over the Garden?

LumiOne tall, thin tower, built from smooth boards right beside the hut.

BrikWe are calling it The Night-Watch Patch Tower.

LumiClimb up, and the whole dark garden spreads out quiet beneath you.

BrikIt is finished! Look how beautiful it turned out.

BrikThe Night-Watch Patch Tower stands tall, and Lumi waves gently from the top.

BrikWhat a curious, patient start to our very long day.

LumiIf you like what we built, show us a thumbs up!

BrikCan you say curious? Curious.

LumiLook what we are building today, come closer and watch with us!

BrikOne small bridge, leading toward the edge where the sun will soon rise.

LumiWe are calling it The Dawn-Garden Bridge.

BrikIts planks glow pale gold already, leading straight toward the morning light.

BrikWe did it, and we did it together.

LumiThe Dawn-Garden Bridge is ready, and George is already standing at the far end.

BrikLook, past the tower, the deep dark sky is starting to change.

LumiIt is turning from deep black to a soft, gentle shade of grey.

BrikThe stars are fading, one by one, like little candles going out slowly.

LumiWatch closely, the edge of the sky is starting to glow soft and warm.

BrikA thin golden line grows wider, along the far edge of the garden.

LumiOne by one, the little green berries begin to stir, ready for a new day.

11:40What Is the Great Strawberry-Stage Tower?

BrikLook, the sun is climbing higher and the whole world is turning golden.

LumiThe whole garden is waking up in gold, right before our eyes.

BrikGood morning, sleepy garden! The sun is finally, wonderfully, all the way up.

LumiThe last cool shadow fades, and the whole patch glows bright golden warm.

BrikCan you say golden? Golden.

LumiNow, in the light of this brand new day, let's solve our whole berry mystery.

BrikHow does one tiny white flower turn into a whole sweet, red strawberry?

LumiLet's look closely at one small white flower, right here in the morning light.

BrikBrik gently cups one small white flower in his open hands.

LumiBehind those soft white petals, a tiny green berry is already starting to form.

BrikA duck! Can you say duck? Duck.

LumiHer name is Bubu, and she waddles closer to a small pond near the garden.

BrikBubu quacks happily, curious about the little white flowers all around her.

LumiTime to get to work, and work is much nicer when we do it together.

LumiOne round flower bed, opening its petals in the very first warm light.

BrikWe are calling it The Morning White-Flower Bed.

LumiEvery petal opens soft and white, waiting patiently for a busy little bee.

BrikIt is finished! Look how beautiful it turned out.

BrikThe Morning White-Flower Bed is ready, glowing warm in the early light.

LumiCan you say pollinate? Pollinate. When a bee carries flower dust from bloom to bloom.

BrikOnce a bee visits, that soft white flower can finally start growing its berry.

LumiCan you say nectar? Nectar. The sweet liquid inside a flower that bees love.

BrikThe morning grass is still a little damp, cool and soft beneath their feet.

LumiSomewhere close by, a bee hums low and busy among the white-flower bed.

BrikNot one single flower in the patch opens at quite the same moment as another.

LumiBubu's feathers ruffle softly, then she settles down to watch the tower glow gold.

BrikThe whole garden smells warm and sweet, like berries basking in the morning sun.

LumiBrik taps the tower gently, and one more band glows a little brighter.

BrikGeorge hops closer, sniffing curiously at the very bottom green band.

LumiHere comes a riddle, say the answer out loud!

BrikBrik counted every soft white petal on one single strawberry flower.

LumiHow many white petals are on that one strawberry flower?

15:50Why Are Strawberry Seeds on the Outside?

BrikTake your time, it is good to think a little longer.

LumiWonderful, you got it! I am so proud of you.

LumiFive white petals, counted carefully. One, two, three, four, five.

BrikFive soft petals, and every single one falls away once the berry starts to grow.

BrikLet's build somewhere big, right where the whole garden can see our giant answer.

BrikBring the blocks, dear builders, we are starting something new.

LumiA giant, blocky tower, banded flower-white, then green, then bright ripe red.

BrikWe are calling it The Great Strawberry-Stage Tower.

LumiEach band shows one whole stage, from tiny flower to the sweetest red berry.

LumiSee how nicely it fits, one block sitting neatly on another.

BrikBlock by block, and stage by stage, rising taller with the morning sun.

LumiCan you say stage? Stage. One step in a whole journey of slow, steady change.

BrikGeorge hops right underneath the great tower, watching its bands glow warm.

LumiThe green band shows a young berry, still tart and not quite ready yet.

BrikWe did it, and we did it together.

LumiThe Great Strawberry-Stage Tower is finished, and George settles down to watch.

BrikCan you say ripen? Ripen. To slowly turn sweet, soft, and ready to eat.

LumiAs a berry ripens, it fills with sugar, and its whole skin turns bright red.

BrikThat is the whole secret: flower, then green, then red, one slow stage at a time.

LumiNot one single berry on that whole tower skips a single stage of its journey.

BrikBrik claps his hands, delighted at how one tiny flower becomes something so sweet.

LumiAnd now a riddle, listen carefully.

LumiBrik counted every green, unripe berry still growing on one single plant.

BrikHow many green berries are still growing on that plant?

BrikHave a think, we will wait for you.

LumiWell done, exactly right! I heard how beautifully you answered.

BrikFour green berries, growing steadily. One, two, three, four.

LumiFour little berries, and every single one will turn red in its own good time.

BrikLook what we are building today, come closer and watch with us!

BrikFour little steps, each one painted a little redder than the last.

LumiWe are calling it The Four Stage-Counting Steps.

BrikStep up slowly, watching each step turn from green to ripe, bright red.

LumiWe are not in a hurry, because things made carefully last the longest.

LumiOne green step, two steps, three steps, then four, bright red at the top.

BrikIt is finished! Look how beautiful it turned out.

BrikThe Four Stage-Counting Steps are finished, and George hops up every one.

LumiA cat! Can you say cat? Cat.

BrikHer name is Luna, and she naps beside the tower in a warm patch of sun.

LumiLuna has no need to wait for berries; her supper is already waiting at home.

LumiOh, Giggles, a warm hug cannot make a berry ripen any faster at all.

BrikHe grins, gives the berry one last pat, and happily hops off to wait.

LumiThe garden settles back into its warm, sunny calm.

LumiTime to get to work, and work is much nicer when we do it together.

LumiOne small feeder, filled with fresh seeds, right beside the stage tower.

BrikWe are calling it The Morning Garden Feeder.

LumiPeck, peck, peck — every little bird loves fresh seed in the morning sun.

BrikWe did it, and we did it together.

BrikThe Morning Garden Feeder is ready, and small birds gather round it happily.

LumiCan you say unique? Unique. There is only one, and nothing else quite like it.

BrikA strawberry is unique: it wears its own tiny seeds right on the outside.

LumiTime for a question, think for a moment.

LumiBrik counted every rabbit and duck gathered near the stage tower.

BrikHow many friends are gathered near the tower?

BrikTake your time, it is good to think a little longer.

LumiBravo, that is it! You are real Dream Builders.

BrikFive happy friends, gathered calmly. One, two, three, four, five.

LumiFive little friends, and every single one enjoys the very same warm morning sun.

BrikThe sun is climbing high above the garden now, warm on every ripening berry.

LumiThe sun is high above us, it is exactly noon, time for a little rest.

BrikLet us sit down for a moment and listen to how beautifully quiet it is around us.

LumiLet's rest a moment here in the warm midday sun, listening to the garden hum softly.

23:20What Is the Busy Bee Pollination Garden?

BrikLet's follow the warm midday sun, over to where the busy bees are working.

LumiPast the tower, the ground opens into a small, sunny corner of the garden.

BrikLeave a thumbs up if you are enjoying building with us, it helps other children find us.

LumiLook, past the flower bed, a whole storybook vegetable garden grows warm in the sun.

BrikThis is the very best time to watch a busy bee visit every open bloom.

LumiCan you say busy? Busy. Working hard, moving quickly from one job to the next.

BrikA duck! Can you say duck? Duck.

LumiBubu waddles closer, watching the busy bees drift from flower to flower.

BrikBubu quacks softly, careful not to disturb any bee's own busy little work.

LumiLet's build somewhere bright, right where the whole garden can watch bees work.

BrikBring the blocks, dear builders, we are starting something new.

BrikA wide, blooming garden, rows of white flowers open to the midday sun.

LumiWe are calling it The Busy Bee Pollination Garden.

BrikBeside the strawberries, orange pumpkins and green cabbages grow in tidy rows.

LumiA little more and it will be ready, do you like it so far?

LumiBlock by block, and bloom by bloom, rising bright with the midday sun.

BrikCan you say scarecrow? Scarecrow. A friendly figure that watches over a garden.

LumiBubu waddles right up to the garden, watching one bee visit every bloom.

BrikEvery visited flower can finally begin growing its own sweet little berry.

BrikIt is finished! Look how beautiful it turned out.

LumiThe Busy Bee Pollination Garden is finished, warm and blooming in the sun.

BrikCan you say outside? Outside. Not hidden inside, but visible right on top.

LumiA strawberry's tiny seeds sit right outside its skin, unlike almost any fruit.

LumiHere comes a riddle, say the answer out loud!

LumiBrik counted every tiny seed dotting the outside of one ripe, red strawberry.

BrikHow many tiny seeds are on that one ripe strawberry?

BrikHave a think, we will wait for you.

LumiWonderful, you got it! I am so proud of you.

BrikEight tiny seeds, counted carefully. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight.

LumiEight little seeds, and every single one sits proudly right on the outside.

BrikLook what we are building today, come closer and watch with us!

LumiOne small signpost, pointing one way to the tower, one to the garden.

BrikWe are calling it The Tower-Or-Garden Signpost.

LumiOne arrow points back to the ripening stages, the other to the bees.

LumiWe did it, and we did it together.

BrikThe Tower-Or-Garden Signpost is ready, and Lumi reads it out loud, delighted.

BrikTime to get to work, and work is much nicer when we do it together.

BrikOne spinning pinwheel, right beside the garden, catching every warm breeze.

LumiWe are calling it The Garden Breeze Pinwheel.

BrikA cool breeze keeps the whole garden comfortable, even under the strong sun.

LumiIt is finished! Look how beautiful it turned out.

LumiThe Garden Breeze Pinwheel spins gently, and Bubu watches it turn round.

LumiOh, Giggles, a real scarecrow watches best by simply standing calm and still.

BrikHe laughs at himself and happily lets the real scarecrow keep watch instead.

LumiThe garden settles back into its warm, sunny calm.

BrikLook, way out past the garden, a dark cloud is gathering, far away.

LumiQuick, let's build one small shed, right where our ripe berries stay safe and dry.

BrikBring the blocks, dear builders, we are starting something new.

LumiOne tiny shed, just big enough for every basket of ripe, red berries.

BrikWe are calling it The Little Berry-Basket Shed.

29:40Do Berries Still Ripen in the Rain?

LumiIts little window lets us peek in at every basket, stacked neat and dry.

LumiWe did it, and we did it together.

BrikThe Little Berry-Basket Shed is ready, tucked snug beside the garden.

BrikThe sun is starting to lean low now, painting the whole garden gold.

LumiLook, way out past the patch, that same dark cloud is rolling closer.

BrikThe whole sky darkens fast, and a bright zigzag flashes on the far horizon.

LumiLet's count together: light travels faster than sound, so we hear thunder after.

BrikAnd now a riddle, listen carefully.

BrikCount with Brik: one, two, three, and then comes the low, rolling boom.

LumiHow many seconds passed between the flash and the thunder?

LumiTake your time, it is good to think a little longer.

BrikWell done, exactly right! I heard how beautifully you answered.

BrikThree whole seconds, counted steady. One, two, three.

LumiThree seconds means that far-off storm is still safely, quietly distant.

BrikThe whole garden drinks up the warm rain, happy for every gentle drop.

LumiNot one single berry minds getting wet; ripening fruit loves warm rain too.

LumiTime for a question, think for a moment.

LumiBrik counted every busy bee visiting the whole pollination garden.

BrikHow many busy bees are visiting the garden?

BrikHave a think, we will wait for you.

LumiBravo, that is it! You are real Dream Builders.

BrikFour busy bees, working steadily. One, two, three, four.

LumiFour little helpers, and every single flower they visit grows its own berry.

BrikListen, the far-off rumble is fading, softer and slower, one by one.

LumiLook, the sky is clearing fast, bright and freshly washed above the garden.

BrikLook up — a whole bright rainbow is arching over the tower, all on its own!

LumiEvery rabbit, duck, and cat nearby settles calm again in the warm sun.

BrikCan you say fragrant? Fragrant. Having a sweet, pleasant smell on the breeze.

LumiA single dragonfly skims low across the garden, quick and shimmering blue-green.

BrikThe warm berry smell drifts all the way to the edge of the whole garden.

LumiNot one single strawberry in the whole patch ripens at quite the same speed.

BrikSomewhere close by, the tower's bands hum once, steady and warm.

LumiLuna's fur stays warm, even resting close beside the pollination garden.

BrikThe garden feels warm, golden, and wonderfully busy with today's whole harvest.

LumiCan you say gentle? Gentle. Soft and careful, never rough at all.

BrikBubu waddles gently past the scarecrow, careful not to startle any bee.

LumiNot one single cloud today ever looked quite the same shape as another.

BrikThe whole patch buzzes softly with bees drifting from one white bloom to the next.

LumiLet's follow the low, golden sun back toward the tower and the whole garden.

LumiBack near the tower, the whole sky is turning a deep, glowing orange and pink.

BrikLook, the sunset sky glows the same warm red as our ripest strawberry.

LumiCan you say sunset? Sunset. That is when the sun goes down low in the sky.

BrikCan you say dusk? Dusk. That is the soft, quiet time just before full dark.

BrikAs the great sun sinks low, the whole garden gathers for one sweet harvest.

LumiLet's watch the sky turn deeper.

BrikIts glow fades slow and gentle.

BrikLook what we are building today, come closer and watch with us!

LumiOne small pyramid, stacked from tiny blocks in every ripening red shade.

BrikWe are calling it The Red-Color Pyramid.

BrikEvery little block glows its own warm hue, stacked five rows high.

LumiIt is finished! Look how beautiful it turned out.

LumiThe Red-Color Pyramid is ready, and it glows soft in the fading light.

LumiOh, Giggles, a strawberry's seeds are meant to stay put, not be picked off.

BrikHe grins, gives up tugging, and happily counts every seed with his eyes instead.

LumiThe garden settles back into its warm, glowing calm.

BrikGive us a thumbs up if you want to see the next episode!

LumiCan you say share? Share. To give some of what you have to a friend.

BrikTime to get to work, and work is much nicer when we do it together.

BrikOne small wooden bench, facing straight toward the whole glowing tower.

LumiWe are calling it The Patch-Watching Bench.

BrikSit here quietly, and watch every berry glow softly against the dark sky.

LumiWe did it, and we did it together.

LumiThe Patch-Watching Bench is ready, and Lumi is already curled up, watching.

BrikBrik pats the little bench gently, proud of the whole long, red day.

LumiCan you say proud? Proud. We built and learned so much today.

BrikCan you say celebrate? Celebrate. To share a happy moment together with friends.

LumiBubu settles onto a low patch of grass, warm beside the glowing fire.

BrikLuna naps curled up beside the pyramid, warm in its colorful glow.

LumiEvery ripe berry tonight remembers the very same bee that visited its flower.

BrikThe whole sky above the garden fills slowly with hundreds of tiny stars.

38:20How Does the Whole Garden Share the Harvest?

LumiCan you say sweet? Sweet. A gentle, pleasant taste, like a ripe strawberry.

BrikBrik counts the lanterns one more time, just for the simple joy of it.

LumiLumi hums a happy little tune, watching the whole garden glow together.

BrikNot one single berry tonight sits unpicked; every ripe one found a happy friend.

LumiGeorge curls up close to the fire, tired after a whole long day in the sun.

BrikHere comes a riddle, say the answer out loud!

LumiThree ripe strawberries were picked before supper, then four more after.

BrikHow many ripe strawberries did we pick altogether today?

LumiTake your time, it is good to think a little longer.

BrikWonderful, you got it! I am so proud of you.

BrikThree and four makes seven. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven.

LumiCan you say altogether? Altogether.

BrikSeven sweet berries, and every single one began as one tiny white flower.

LumiLet's build one last place, right where the whole garden can share the harvest.

LumiBring the blocks, dear builders, we are starting something new.

BrikA wide, welcoming camp, ringed with lanterns from one side to the other.

LumiWe are calling it The Red Ripe Harvest Campfire.

BrikOne by one, its lanterns glow, each one warmer than the last.

BrikBlock by block, slowly, and it is already growing taller.

LumiPost by post, and lantern by lantern, filling up with today's last golden light.

BrikThe campfire glows the same warm red as the whole ripening patch beside it.

LumiGeorge settles close to the fire, nibbling one sweet berry from the harvest.

BrikEvery friend gathers close, sharing sweet berries fresh from today's own patch.

LumiIt is finished! Look how beautiful it turned out.

LumiThe Red Ripe Harvest Campfire is finished, glowing warm under the first stars.

BrikLook, it is dark again now, just like it was at the start of our day.

LumiBut this time, we know exactly how one tiny flower becomes a sweet berry.

BrikA busy bee's visit, a slow green stage, and patient sun turning green to red.

LumiListen to the garden grow quiet.

BrikCan you say cozy? Cozy.

LumiCozy just means warm, soft, and safe, exactly like our whole harvest tonight.

BrikNot one single berry tonight was ever picked before its own patient time.

LumiA single lantern still glows in the same hut window, steady every night.

BrikSomewhere close by, a cricket starts up its same, steady song once more.

LumiGeorge's ears twitch softly in the very last warm light before dark settles.

42:40How Do Strawberries Really Grow? The Whole Answer

BrikThe whole garden smells of ripe berries and cool, settling harvest air.

LumiNot one lantern around the whole camp glows in quite the same gold.

BrikA single star returns to the same corner of the sky, night after night.

LumiLuna naps curled up beside the pyramid, warm in its colorful glow.

BrikThe night feels calm, complete, and wonderfully, warmly sweet.

LumiPress Subscribe together with your parents, and Brik and Lumi will be here waiting for you tomorrow.

BrikIf you had a good time with us, press Subscribe so you do not lose our cartoon.

LumiThe stars are twinkling again, and our long, beautiful day is slowly coming to an end.

BrikWe built so much today, and we learned even more.

LumiThank you for being with us, it was much nicer together.

BrikSo remember, a busy bee's visit, a slow green stage, and sun turning green to sweet red.

LumiThe tower glows soft and warm one last time, calm under the bright stars.

LumiGiggles waves from far away before he disappears for the night, and the little bells on his cap ring softly.

BrikBye bye! Sleep sweetly, our dear friends.
