Avondale Gardening Alliance to Host 2026 Almanac Release Party at Revolution Brewing This February

By Socialhood News · Il/Chicago/Avondale · February 5, 2026

The Avondale Gardening Alliance (AGA) is preparing to celebrate the release of their highly anticipated 2026 Almanac with a community gathering at Revolution Brewing on February 19. This annual resource, created by and for neighborhood gardeners, serves as a comprehensive guide to urban agriculture, featuring seasonal planting advice, sustainability tips, and community resources specifically tailored to Chicago's unique growing conditions.

The timing is perfect for winter-weary gardeners, as "Yule is the perfect time to pick up your 2026 Almanac and start dreaming of 2026 garden plans" according to event organizers. The celebration will take place from 6-8pm at Revolution Brewing's taproom on Kedzie Avenue. The almanac has become an essential resource for local residents, containing scientific research, artistic elements, traditional farming knowledge, and neighborhood-specific gardening guidance that connects neighbors with both nature and each other.

Local gardeners and community members interested in sustainable living are encouraged to attend the release party to connect with like-minded neighbors and start planning their spring gardens. The event kicks off a season of AGA activities, including their popular Seedling Extravaganza in May where thousands of vegetable, herb, and native plant seedlings are shared among community members. For more information about the almanac release party or other upcoming events, residents can visit the Avondale Gardening Alliance website or follow them on social media.
