Mixed culture in combination with flowers and vegetables is easier to keep healthy. Here we see a partial mixed culture. One small field of flowers, next small field with salad or vegetable in combination with small strawberry fields.
Compared to the previous 2 large strawberry mono culture fields this photo shows a much better solution. The more you mix different plants, the less fertilizer, less herbicide and pesticide you will need.
Ideal however would be a real mix, just as in jungle or wild forest / natural fields. Side by side flowers and berries with salads, beautiful green grass and vegetables. Just as in God made nature!
All the photos shown here are from the same location - Trinidad, outside Baguio City. Different strawberry field owners try different methods. Most use plentiful of chemicals every few days! A few only experiment with alternate methods of organic farming.

Large strawberry field in Trinidad - outside Baguio City - Philippines. To grow from small plant to fruit bearing adult plant takes all year until next season. Meanwhile plants love rich and moist soil. Limited weeding and some mulching as organic fertilizer. Hence all year long some care every few weeks.
Strawberry plants survive easily frosty winters with very low temperatures far below freezing point. However bloom and harvest always is in warm season!
