Expressing support for the designation of July 2026 as "American Grown Flower and Foliage Month".

This resolution expresses support for designating July 2026 as "American Grown Flower and Foliage Month". It highlights the vital role of domestic cut flower and foliage growers, who contribute significantly to the economy and bring beauty to communities across the United States. The resolution notes that while consumers spend billions on floral products annually and increasingly prefer locally grown options, only a small percentage of flowers sold domestically are actually grown in the U.S.

The resolution recognizes that purchasing flowers and foliage grown in the United States directly supports farmers, small businesses, and jobs within the agricultural industry. It emphasizes that domestically grown flowers, often sold within 24 to 48 hours of harvest, tend to last longer and enhance celebrations and special occasions. The House of Representatives urges all people to proactively showcase American-grown flowers and foliage to bolster the domestic floral and agricultural sectors.
