July Designated as American Grown Flower and Foliage Month: Supporting Local Growers.
The U.S. Senate supports designating July 2022 as “American Grown Flower and Foliage Month.” This initiative aims to promote the purchase of locally grown floral products, thereby supporting American farmers, small businesses, and jobs, and strengthening the national economy. Citizens are encouraged to choose domestically grown flowers, which can lead to fresher products and support for local communities.
