*Full Title:* "Going Wild with Eloise Butler"
Description:
Eloise Butler loved the outdoors. A botany teacher in early Minneapolis, her dream was a "wild garden." Here she nurtured over 700 kinds of native mosses, ferns, trees, shrubs, and wildflowers. Theodore Wirth wrote of her, "Hers was a life of happiness in a kingdom all of her own, and her spirit has not departed from these grounds." Going Wild with Eloise Butler is a biography for middle readers. It includes many plant-friendly activities, an environmental Code of Ethics, references for further reading, and an index.

Review
The Eloise Butler Wildflower Garden is a crown jewel within the Park system, a place where the visitor can sit back, relax and just listen to the birds and nature talk to each other, a natural, secluded area for meditation and rejuvenation. --M. Annie Young, Citywide Park Commissioner, 1990 - the present
Judith Bridell truly captures the spirit of Eloise Butler. Children, and adults too, will be captivated by Eloise s adventures as she accomplishes her dream. With the activities at the end of each chapter the book provides what Eloise provided her entire life, a wonderful teaching and learning experience. --Vivian Mason, 4th District Park Commissioner, MPRB
This book about an early visionary who understood how quickly natural habitats can be lost is especially pertinent now, as we continue the work of preserving the last remnants of our natural heritage for future generations. Going Wild with Eloise Butler is sure to inspire young naturalists to continue Eloise s legacy of land stewardship and environmental education. --Hannah Texler, Regional Plant Ecologist
