About

#1 of 2 campsites in Lyndhurst
No.9 is an arts organization that uses art and design to bring awareness to environmental concerns. We deliver programs in schools and in the public domain designed to encourage the use of creative thinking to resolve environmental issues and to promote a sustainable lifestyle. Launched in 2018, in partnership with Dunin-Deshpande Queen’s Innovation Centre and St. Lawrence College Department of Skilled Trades and Tourism, No.9 Gardens is a hands-on teaching facility created to empower youth to lead a revolution in building resilient communities, utilizing the Nine Pillars of Sustainable Design developed by No.9: - Civic Engagement & Leadership - Food Security - Open Green Space - Waste Management - Water Management - Green Building Design - Transportation - Alternative Energy - Public Art & Design We believe that building sustainable communities is only achievable with reconciliation and rejuvenation. Since our launch of No.9 Gardens in 2018, we have been actively developing partnerships with the indigenous communities in the region. It is our intention to be able to provide a safe space for dialogue and learning opportunities between indigenous and non-indigenous peoples, so that we may learn from each other and work towards common goals and aspirations. To date, No.9 has hosted a traditional canoe making workshop, showcased an Indigenous artist installation, has partnered with the Downie/Wenjack Fund to provide a Legacy Space onsite, and is in the process of establishing a Memorium of Understanding with the Queen’s University Office of Indigenous Initiatives around providing land-based curriculum to students. No.9 Gardens is committed to providing education around sustainable local food systems and how we can feed our cities. Training young people how to grow local organic produce is a great way to offset carbon caused by food waste and food transportation. The “Gardens” (No.9 Gardens) are now open to the public in order to provide a unique facility for providing such activities, including the display of eco-art, the delivery of workshops related to sustainability and indigenous dialogue, and a magnificent environment where visitors can immerse themselves in nature and learn simply by being here how to live more sustainably. Our facility itself will showcase the latest in sustainable building while also providing unique hands-on educational opportunities to students. Our Welcome Centre opened spring 2021.

My mother and I stayed in a beautiful yurt imported from Mongolia for a two night escape from the city. We were blown away by the high level of comfort in the yurt, especially the soft beds. Waking up and doing yoga amidst the lush scenery of the gardens was also an experience to die for. We absolutely loved our healthy and heart breakfast provided using fresh ingredients from the garden… We even bought bunches of kale to recreate the delicious meal at home! With quaint and friendly small towns nearby, there isn’t a shortage of things to do and see! Overall, it was a quiet, peaceful, and relaxing getaway only made better by the knowledge it was completely sustainable!
