Chlorophyll in His Veins

Chlorophyll in His Veins is a book by Bobby Ward that is teaching me lots of new things, not just new words and plant names, but also a great deal about a man I have come to admire greatly. I am also extremely grateFULL for his life's contribution and the arboretum that now bears his name.
