Expressing support for the designation of July 2025 as "American Grown Flower and Foliage Month".
This resolution (HRES 616) is a symbolic, non-binding expression of support for designating July 2025 as "American Grown Flower and Foliage Month." It recognizes the domestic flower and foliage industry’s economic impact - supporting hundreds of growers, thousands of small businesses, and tens of thousands of jobs - while highlighting that only 20% of flowers sold in the U.S. are domestically grown. The resolution urges consumers to choose domestically grown floral products to support U.S. farmers and the agricultural economy, but it does not create new laws, regulations, or funding. As a procedural resolution, it has no direct effect on policy or industry operations.
