About this episode
Been seeing more monarch butterflies lately? Now is the time when Illinois’ state insect migrates south toward Mexico. Along the way, many will stop in a yard in Pilsen, where Claudia Galeno-Sanchez has created a garden of native plants to help the pollinators. We took a tour of her butterfly sanctuary last year, and she explains how the butterflies’ journey reminds her of her own immigration story. Celebrate native plants and monarch butterflies this weekend at Celebración de los Árboles at Morton Arboretum and at the Festival de la Monarca in East Chicago, Indiana.
