The Senate resolution designates July 2026 as "American Grown Flower and Foliage Month" to highlight the vital role of domestic flower and foliage farmers. This designation acknowledges their significant contributions to the national economy, agricultural industry, and local communities across the United States. It also recognizes the long-standing tradition of using American-grown flowers for celebrations and expressions of affection. The resolution emphasizes that while consumers spend billions annually on floral products and increasingly prefer domestically produced goods, only a small percentage of flowers sold in the U.S. are American-grown. By encouraging the purchase of "American Grown Flowers," the resolution seeks to support hundreds of growers, thousands of small businesses, and tens of thousands of jobs. Ultimately, it urges all Americans to proactively showcase domestically grown flowers and foliage to bolster the entire U.S. agricultural sector.
