Description
Since I took a walk with today’s guest about 10 years ago, I’ve adopted a whole different way of looking at what I might have once seen as imperfections in plants. Now when I spy a squiggle in a columbine leaf or what looks like a green Ping-Pong ball on an oak, instead of thinking “What’s wrong with my plant!” I instead think “I wonder who made that—and why?”
Curiosity has replaced panic, thanks to naturalist Charley Eiseman, co-author of the field guide “Tracks and Sign of Insects and Other Invertebrates,” who’s here today to decode some of nature’s beautiful little mysteries for us.
Charley Eiseman is a freelance naturalist, and when he’s not conducting biodiversity surveys for conservation groups and other clients, he devotes himself to learning more about the natural world—through an e-book he’s created on leafminers, and a North American leafminer project on iNaturalist.org he started that has some 50,000 sightings submitted, and more.

A Way to Garden with Margaret Roach – March 22, 2021 – Helen O’Donnell on Flower Garden Favorites: I met today’s guest, Helen O’Donnell, at a plant sale a couple of springs ago, before the pandemic scuttled most such big public events. Spring sales like that, where multiple small growers of unusual specialty plants gather, are my favorite. by MARGARET ROACH A WAY TO GARDEN
