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

Key Points

• This resolution officially supports naming July 2026 as a month to celebrate flowers and plants grown in the United States. It aims to raise awareness about where floral products come from.
• The plan highlights that while Americans spend over $70 billion a year on flowers and plants, only 15 percent of those flowers are actually grown in the U.S. Most are imported from other countries.
• By encouraging people to buy local, the resolution seeks to help American farmers, small businesses, and the tens of thousands of workers in the domestic floral industry.
• Supporters note that American-grown flowers are often fresher because they reach shops within 48 hours of being cut. This helps them last longer in homes compared to flowers shipped from overseas.
