Bill Summary
A Senate Resolution To Recognize And Honor The Riverbanks Botanical Garden On The Occasion Of Its Thirtieth Anniversary And To Commend Its Outstanding Contributions To Conservation, Education, And Community Engagement In South Carolina.
AI Summary
This resolution honors the Riverbanks Botanical Garden on its 30th anniversary, recognizing its significant contributions to conservation, education, and community engagement in South Carolina. Located in Lexington County, the 70-acre garden, which opened on June 10, 1995, features over 5,700 species of native and exotic plants and has received national recognition, including being named one of the "10 Gardens That Inspire" by Horticulture magazine. The garden has made notable achievements in conservation, partnering with universities and organizations to protect endangered plant species like Schweinitz's sunflower and the Rocky Shoals spider lily, and has launched the Planting with a Purpose initiative to support pollinator habitats. In 2016, the garden expanded with Waterfall Junction, a three-acre children's garden featuring a 25-foot cascading waterfall, which provides an interactive space for families to connect with nature. The resolution formally recognizes the Riverbanks Botanical Garden's 30-year legacy of environmental stewardship and community enrichment, and directs that a copy of the resolution be presented to the garden.
