Enjoy a Thursday evening stroll through Lewis Ginter Botanical Gardens — along with music, dining and wine — through the end of October. While the wine tasting, music and food will move inside the Garden conservatory in October, the grounds will remain open until 9 p.m. On the second Thursday of October, Fidos After 5 opens the grounds to your leashed canine friends. For details, visit the Lewis Ginter website. Here’s a snapshot of the October events:
