About the Book:

Growing Green is a collection of episodes (and poems) that have cluttered my desk over the years. They tell the story of why and how I have become the active environmentalist I am today at 81 years of age. It is my hope that "any excuse to be outdoors is a good excuse" will carry over to new generations, and they will find their own ways to discover the wonders of nature and to help preserve it, too.

About the Author:

Margaret Meissner Evans grew up in the small town (then) of Chatham, New Jersey, where climbing trees and riding bikes was a way of life. After Oberlin and some teaching of science,she and her husband Frank raised four sons on a farm outside of Decatur, IL, which they turned into a Christmas tree farm that put their sons through college. 'Twas a "lark" of an enterprise, and it still goes on thanks to son Ron and their own hands now and then, for they just can't let go!
