Whereas nearly 30 percent of households in the United 
States purchase fresh cut flowers and greens from more 
than 16,000 florists and floral establishments each year; 
Whereas the people of the United States increasingly want to 
support domestically produced foods and agricultural 
products and would prefer to buy locally grown flowers 
whenever possible, yet a majority of domestic consumers 
do not know where the flowers they purchase are grown; 
Whereas in response to increased demand, the ‘‘Certified 
American Grown Flowers’’ logo was created in July 2014 
in order to educate and empower consumers to purchase 
flowers from domestic producers; 
Whereas, as of April 2017, millions of stems of domestically 
grown flowers are now ‘‘Certified American Grown’’;

eties of flowers across the United States, such as peonies 
in Alaska, Gerbera daisies in California, lupines in

Whereas most domestic cut flowers and greens are sold in the

last longer than flowers shipped longer distances; 
Whereas flowers grown domestically enhance the ability of 
the people of the United States to festively celebrate wed-

Whereas flower-giving has been a holiday tradition in the
