Key Points

The Senate officially named July 2026 as a special month to celebrate flowers and greenery grown in the United States. This is meant to encourage people to support local farmers by looking for the American Grown Flowers label when they shop for bouquets or plants.
Right now, only 15 percent of the flowers sold in the United States are actually grown here. The resolution explains that buying local flowers helps support more than 18,000 florists and tens of thousands of jobs in the American agricultural industry.
The resolution notes that flowers grown in the United States are usually fresher because they can get to stores within one or two days after being cut. It also highlights that Americans spend about $70 billion every year on plants and flowers for weddings, holidays, and gifts.
