Saturday, June 8, benefiting Discovery Center at Murfree Spring

Discovery Center is celebrating our 20th anniversary this year and is adding 7,500 square feet of new exhibits! So this year’s Secret Garden Party fundraiser will be particularly exciting…

The 2007 party, “An Evening on the Orient Express” will be held on Friday, June 8 at the gorgeous home and gardens of Pat and Kathy Ryan on 1534 Bear Branch Cove. This evening promises to delight all of your senses as you step into the beautiful garden to bid on distinctive silent auction items and enjoy an open bar and a delectable meal featuring stops in London, Paris, Istanbul and the Far East.

This year, the 2007 Secret Garden Party honors Joyce Benedict and the Optimistic Gardeners Club, who have helped Discovery Center grow through their many volunteer hours over the years!

We invite everyone to enjoy these activities by purchasing tickets to the Secret Garden Party. Individual tickets can be purchased for $75.00. Tickets may be purchased online or by calling 890-2300. If you are interested in sponsoring the event, please contact Rachel Anderson at
890-2300.

We greatly appreciate your generosity! Your support of the Secret Garden Party will help Discovery Center bloom, grow and flourish - now and for many years to come.
