One major benefit of growing strawberries from seed is you can plant several different varieties of your choosing, as long as they can grow in your climate.

Strawberry plants can go almost anywhere. From indoor potted plants to outdoor patches and interplanted areas that need ground cover, strawberries arent picky. They also dont grow very deep roots.
So if you can find a spot for a container of any sort or designate a section of the garden, you probably can put strawberries there. Most strawberry plant varieties do best with lots of sunshine, so ensure that your growing location gets at least six to eight hours of direct sun per day.
