Carbajal Introduces Resolution to Recognize July as American Grown Flower and Foliage Month

U.S. Representative Salud Carbajal led Congressional Cut Flower Caucus co-chairs in introducing a bipartisan resolution to officially recognize the month of July 2026 as “American Grown Flower and Foliage Month.” Carbajal was joined by co-chairs Dan Newhouse, Chellie Pingree, Jimmy Panetta, and Jeff Hurd in introducing the measure. Senator Alex Padilla is leading a companion resolution in the U.S. Senate. According to Carbajal, California produces nearly three-quarters of all American-grown cut flowers. The resolution follows earlier legislative efforts, including the bipartisan Don Young American Grown Act previously introduced by Carbajal and Panetta. SYV Today Staff Report. Source: Rep.
