American Flowers Week was established in 2015 to encourage a dialogue among farmers, policymakers, and the public about where their flowers come from. To celebrate and promote the origins of American-grown flowers, American Flowers Week aligns with the 4th of July.
Support Local Floral Farmers
One of the main purposes of American Flowers Week is to raise awareness of flower origins and to recognize the local farmers who grow a diverse selection for the flower trade. As more and more consumers become even more conscious of where their products are coming from—especially food and flowers—American Flowers Week organizer Debra Prinzing says it’s important to “celebrate American-grown flowers, as well as flower farmers…[and] floral designers whose ethos and intent inspires them to source domestically.”
