Bill > SRes367

This resolution designates July 2025 as "American Grown Flower and Foliage Month" to highlight the significance of domestic flower and foliage production in the United States. The resolution recognizes that U.S. flower and foliage growers are hardworking individuals who contribute to local economies, with consumers spending over $59 billion annually on floral products and purchasing from more than 16,000 florists. It emphasizes that while people increasingly want to support locally grown products, only 20 percent of flowers and foliage sold in the U.S. are domestically grown. The resolution aims to raise awareness about the domestic flower industry, which supports hundreds of growers, thousands of small businesses, and tens of thousands of jobs, and produces a wide variety of flowers across different states, such as peonies in Alaska and tulips in Washington. By designating this month, the Senate encourages Americans to recognize and support domestic flower and foliage farmers, showcase their products, and appreciate their role in celebrating holidays, special occasions, and cultural traditions.
