Key Points

This resolution asks the House of Representatives to officially name July 2025 as a special month for flowers and plants grown in the United States.
The goal is to support local farmers since only 20 percent of flowers sold in the country are grown by American producers.
It encourages shoppers to look for the Certified American Grown label when buying flowers for weddings, holidays, or home decor.
Supporters say that buying local flowers helps protect thousands of jobs and supports small businesses in every state.
