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

HRES 1213 is a symbolic resolution expressing the U.S. House of Representatives' support for designating July 2022 as "American Grown Flower and Foliage Month." It encourages consumers to purchase domestically grown flowers and foliage to support the agricultural industry, which employs tens of thousands of people and contributes to the economy. The resolution highlights that only 20% of flowers sold in the U.S. are domestically grown, despite consumers spending over $38 billion annually on floral products. It urges the public to choose American-grown flowers to bolster local farmers and celebrate holidays with locally sourced products.
