Known as the “Gateway to the World,” Albany Park is the most ethnically diverse neighborhood in Chicago. From iconic theatre companies to museums, restaurants to parades to community gardens, our neighborhood is vibrant, alive, and growing. Families come here to take root alongside people who’ve lived here for generations. The small business is alive and thriving in Albany Park—and we love that. The story of Albany Park is the real story of America today.
Once a vacant lot, 100 families from Bhutan and Burma have transformed the corner of Lawrence and Sacramento into a thriving, organic garden and farm. Global Gardens’ ongoing purpose is to provide access to fruits and vegetables to refugee families and the surrounding community.
