Ants that act as sutures? The bark of a tree that cures malaria? Napoleon eventually defeated because of insects? On today's Zesty Garden is an interview with Sarah Albee, author of the book Bugged: How Insects Changed History. Learn how insects have changed world history. This is not your everyday history book.

We also look at Pulsatilla in Going Native! then Nancy Williams reads an essay about acorns and the seasons in Petals and Prose.
