Nature lovers and environmentalists can mix, mingle and listen to stories at “An Evening in the Garden,” a benefit for Wonderland Gardens School Garden Initiative.

The Oct. 30 event, from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m., is sponsored by Wonderland Gardens and the Organization of DeKalb Educators. The organizations are partnering on the School Garden Initiative to connect students to nature through quarterly field trips to Wonderland for outdoor science lab programs, school garden installations and maintenance programs, and school garden club development.

The nonprofit garden on Rainbow Drive in Decatur is promoting science literacy and lifelong learning in students, their families, friends and communities through its School Garden Initiative.

Tickets are $20. To buy tickets and for more information, visit http://wonderlandgardens.net/aboutwonderland/events-school -garden.
