The Secret Garden Party is Discovery Center’s premier fundraising event—an unforgettable evening where generosity and wonder come together in a beautifully transformed setting. Guests enjoy an elegant night of dining, live music, and immersive experiences designed to celebrate nature, creativity, and community.
Most importantly, the Secret Garden Party directly supports Discovery Center’s mission. Funds raised through this signature event sustain and expand our exhibits, outdoor learning environments, and programming—ensuring that children and families of all backgrounds have access to meaningful, hands-on learning experiences. Every ticket, sponsorship, and contribution helps cultivate curiosity and joyful discovery for years to come.
Representatives of the Master Gardeners of Rutherford County will be available at each garden to welcome tour participants and answer gardening questions.
