Expressing support for the designation of July 2025 as "American Grown Flower and Foliage Month".

YourVoice.Now Summary

This resolution supports designating July 2025 as American Grown Flower and Foliage Month. Only about 20% of cut flowers sold in the U.S. are actually grown domestically, and many consumers don't know where their flowers come from. The resolution recognizes the hundreds of growers and thousands of small businesses that make up the domestic cut flower industry, highlights that American-grown flowers last longer because they're sold within 24–48 hours of harvest, and encourages people to look for the "Certified American Grown" label when buying flowers.

Congressional Summary

This resolution supports the designation of American Grown Flower and Foliage Month and recognizes that purchasing flowers and foliage grown in the United States supports the farmers, small businesses, jobs, and economy of the United States.
