We wish for you to join us at the 17^th annual Great Gardens Party Presented by Northern Trust!

This signature springtime fundraising event at Meijer Gardens makes for a fun-filled evening featuring an exciting lineup of live and silent auction items accompanied by delicious cocktails and imaginative cuisine.

Upon arrival, guests will enjoy a cocktail hour while perusing the offerings of our silent auction. Using our convenient mobile bidding platform, you can place bids online and watch the bidding action on your favorite items.

Later in the evening, the live auction kicks off in the Huizenga Grand Room, featuring several high-ticket items and once-in-a-lifetime experiences. All proceeds support Meijer Gardens’ mission of promoting the enjoyment, understanding and appreciation of gardens, sculpture, the natural environment, and the arts.
