Earthwise Society outreach co-ordinator Krystal Brennan says kids will have fun in the Junior Master Gardener Program.

Local kids can become master gardeners during a fun and unique spring break camp.

Children ages seven to 12 are invited to sign up for Earthwise Society's Junior Master Gardener Program from March 24 to 28.

During this half-day program, campers will discover why worms are good in a garden, how to feed the bees and will even build a bug mansion.

Experts will be on hand to show children how cool plants can be and their importance to everything and everyone.

Each day, participants will take home something they've created or helped grow such as a mini compost, bee-friendly plant or seed bomb.

The camp, which is full of hands-on games and activities, will take place at the Earthwise Society organic farm and garden at 6400-3rd Ave. in Boundary Bay.

It runs from 9 a.m. to noon daily and costs $100 for the week.
