Craving some summer strawberries?The fruit is ripe — and free — for picking around Des Moines City Hall. The city planted the strawberry bushes three years ago after the renovations to the building. Now they're ripe and ready to be picked, said Ben Page, the director of the Des Moines Parks and Recreation Department. "They're free, and they're open for the public to come down and enjoy," Page said.It's first come, first served to grab the ripening strawberries, which is exactly what the Stumpf family of West Des Moines did on Tuesday.“We came to find some strawberries, and it's really awesome to know that this is here and free to pick," Nichole Stumpf said. "The kids and I have had a blast." Page said no pesticides or chemicals have been used on the plants, but people should still wash the berries before eating them.
