The bill, H. 4196, is a House Resolution recognizing and honoring the Riverbanks Botanical Garden on the occasion of its thirtieth anniversary. Established on June 10, 1995, the garden spans seventy acres on the west campus of Riverbanks Zoo and Garden in Lexington County and features over 5,700 species of native and exotic plants. It has received national recognition for its contributions to conservation, education, and community engagement, including accolades from Horticulture magazine and HGTV. The garden has also expanded its offerings, notably with the opening of Waterfall Junction in 2016, a children's garden designed to foster family connections with nature.

The resolution highlights the garden's critical role in conservation efforts, including partnerships to protect endangered plant species and initiatives like Planting with a Purpose, which promotes the creation of pollinator-friendly habitats. The House of Representatives commends the Riverbanks Botanical Garden for its significant impact on the community and the environment over the past thirty years, and a copy of the resolution will be presented to the garden.
