July Designated as American Grown Flower and Foliage Month
The U.S. Senate supports designating July 2021 as “American Grown Flower and Foliage Month.” This aims to promote the purchase of domestically grown flowers and foliage, supporting local farmers and small businesses, and highlighting the importance of the U.S. floral industry to the economy and traditions. Citizens are encouraged to choose locally grown flowers, which helps sustain jobs and the U.S. economy.
Key points
Support for Farmers and Small Businesses: Buying U.S.-grown flowers helps sustain jobs and boost the local economy.
Fresher Products: Locally grown flowers are fresher and last longer, as they are sold quickly after harvest.
Increased Awareness: The initiative seeks to educate consumers about the origin of flowers and encourage the purchase of domestic products.
