No.9: Contemporary Art & the Environment

About No.9 Gardens: Your registration directly supports our programs and helps us fulfill our mission of empowering youth and the general public to lead a revolution in building resilient communities. No.9 Gardens is focused on educating people about the importance of a strong, local, resilient food system. We work with volunteers to grow fresh nutritious produce for those most in need.

No.9 Gardens is situated on many traditional territories including Haudenosaunee (Ho-den-o-show-nee), Anishinaabe (Ah-nish-in-ah-bay), Mississauga, Algonquin, and the Wendake-Nionwentsïo nations. We are grateful to be able to offer the public these lands to live, learn, and play on.

40 acres of quintessential Ontario wilderness in eastern Ontario known as the Frontenac Arch Natural Area: this is the canvas on which we are creating Canada’s first centre for promoting sustainability and indigenous dialogue. No.9 Gardens is located alongside the Hawkridge Trail, 200 acres of protected UNESCO World Biosphere Reserve and the spectacular natural beauty of Eastern Ontario.

How do we do this? By providing enjoyable, lived experiences outdoors in the natural environment that encourages creativity, greater respect and reciprocity with the land, and a more sustainable lifestyle. Check out No.9’s website for more information on our programs:
