American Grown Flowers Month is the perfect opportunity to support local home-grown flowers and foliage all month long with a proven campaign boasting double digit sales increases year over year! July is the month when all 50 states are blooming, making it the perfect time to celebrate our American flower and foliage farming families. And remember, the celebration doesn’t have to end in July—American grown is in season all year long.
