BONITA SPRINGS, Fla. - eTradeWire -- Tickets are available for the Wonder Gardens' 8th Annual Enchanted Gala, Thursday, Feb.13 from 6 to 9:30 p.m.

"An Enchanted Oasis" is the theme of the signature fundraising event that will raise money for planned improvements to the historic gardens and its rescued, non-releasable birds and reptiles. Gala attendees will enjoy live music by DiscoMania, welcome cocktails courtesy of Chartreuse Craft Cocktail Lounge, a dinner provided by Artichoke and Company, and live and silent auctions.

"An Enchanted Oasis is a fitting theme because the gardens really transform once the sun sets, and the lights come on," says Neil Anderson, Wonder Gardens executive director. "This is a special event that truly celebrates the past, present and future of the Wonder Gardens. We have so much to look forward to in the next 30 years and we're thrilled to showcase some exciting developments that are already underway."
