CELEBRATING THE OPENING OF THE PURDY WELCOME CENTER AND CONSERVATORY GARDENS AT BROOKGREEN GARDENS

Congressional Record, Volume 172 Issue 8 (Monday, January 12, 2026) [Congressional Record Volume 172, Number 8 (Monday, January 12, 2026)] [Extensions of Remarks] [Page E27] From the Congressional Record Online through the Government Publishing Office [ www.gpo.gov ] CELEBRATING THE OPENING OF THE PURDY WELCOME CENTER AND CONSERVATORY GARDENS AT BROOKGREEN GARDENS _____ HON. RUSSELL FRY of south carolina in the house of representatives Monday, January 12, 2026 Mr. FRY. Mr. Speaker, I rise to recognize the opening of the Purdy Welcome Center and Conservatory Gardens at Brookgreen Gardens, a National Historic Landmark in Murrells Inlet, South Carolina. This is the largest capital project at Brookgreen in the last thirty years. It will welcome visitors from around the world with a conservatory of living plant displays, including an expansive orchid collection, sculpture made from plant materials, and a wetland garden and trail that teaches best environmental practices. I ask my colleagues to join me in congratulating Brookgreen Gardens on this milestone and in celebrating the cultural, educational, and tourism benefits it will bring to our state. ____________________
