“No.9 Gardens offers something rare—a gathering space that is not only beautiful and functional, but deeply aligned with the values of sustainability, creativity, and community care.”

“We chose No.9 Gardens as the pilot site for the CSPA Convergence retreat because of its inspiring integration of regenerative design, food production, and artistic programming. The site supports both deep reflection and hands-on learning, and the team at No.9 is exceptionally skilled at fostering a welcoming, inclusive atmosphere. It’s an ideal environment for artists, thinkers, and changemakers to come together and imagine new ways forward. We look forward to returning.”

— Ian Garrett, Centre for Sustainable Practice in the Arts
