A resolution expressing support for the designation of July 2022 as "American Grown Flower and Foliage Month".

This resolution (SRES 720) expresses the U.S. Senate’s support for designating July 2022 as "American Grown Flower and Foliage Month." It does not create new laws or funding but aims to raise awareness about domestic flower and foliage producers. The resolution highlights that only 22% of flowers sold in the U.S. are domestically grown, despite consumers spending over $38 billion annually on floral products. It encourages buying locally grown flowers to support U.S. farmers, small businesses, and the agricultural economy, noting domestic flowers often last longer and support hundreds of growers and tens of thousands of jobs.
