Native Plants, Vibrant Cities

Chicago Native Garden Projects is a native plant nonprofit in Chicago creating pollinator habitats across the city. What was once a neglected stretch of railroad land in Pilsen is now bursting with life. Inspired by the monarch butterfly sanctuaries of Mexico, we set out to reclaim the Morgan Street slope as a haven for pollinators.
