## Summary

**Promoting domestically grown cut flowers and foliage.** This resolution would designate July 2026 as American Grown Flower and Foliage Month and recognizes the economic and cultural role of U.S. flower growers. It cites that Americans spend more than $70 billion a year on floral products, that over 18,000 florists and floral businesses serve consumers, and that the average person spends about $260 annually. The resolution notes only about 15 percent of flowers sold in the United States are domestically grown and urges Americans to showcase U.S.-grown flowers to support growers, processors, distributors, and small businesses.
