## Summary

**Support for U.S. flower and foliage growers.** This resolution would designate July 2026 as American Grown Flower and Foliage Month and would encourage Americans to buy domestically grown flowers and foliage. It cites that Americans spend more than $70 billion a year on floral products, that per-person spending tops $260, and that only about 15 percent of flowers sold in the U.S. are grown domestically. The text frames domestic blooms as supporting thousands of growers, small businesses, and tens of thousands of jobs and as enhancing holidays and special occasions.
