Secret Garden Weekend starts Friday
Secret Garden Weekend (June 7-9) is one of the highlights of the summer social season in Middle Tennessee. The series of events—which allows participants to get sneak peeks at beautiful gardens hidden in backyards or behind walls or fences in and around Murfreesboro—also serves as a major fundraiser for the Discovery Center.

Secret Garden Party
Friday, June 7 | 7 p.m.
Home of Kimberly & Roger Hopkins

At this year’s much-anticipated Secret Garden Party, guests will be transported to the enchantment of a Charleston night as they step inside the cloistered garden of Kimberly and Roger Hopkins’ beautiful Main Street home.
Classic low country cuisine will be served while the rhythmic strains of jazz music drift among the flowers and mingle with the tinkling of cocktail glasses. The new Mercantile Loft, a reimagined corner store from the 1920s that is part of the Hopkins’ downtown revitalization efforts, will also be open for tours.
Chairs: Julie King and Kelly Goodman
Food by Five Senses
