The Five B's Are Best For Your Garden

By Phran Novelli

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) - Birds, Bats, Butterflies, Bees and Bugs. Celebrate these Five B's at a slew of events in and around Wayne and Radnor Township, PA now through May 9th.

From classes at the Wayne Art Center, to storytelling at the Radnor Memorial Library to events at the Jenkins Arboretum, to helping to build a rain garden, you'll find happenings for all ages and interests.

Learn why birds matter so much and what they need most from you; how bugs help pollinate, control other bugs, and feed the birds! Find out how to bring butterflies to your yard; plant a garden that welcomes bees who kindly pollinate our crops; and why a bat house is better than a bug zapper (because each bat can gobble thousands of mosquitos and other insects every hour!).

The FIve B's features five weeks of fun in nearly 30 events - and that's what the Internet is for, so check out TheFiveBs.org and read through the list of happenings to learn what's up with birds, bats, butterflies, bees and bugs.
