The American Grown Flowers brand symbolizes a unified and diverse coalition of U.S. flower farms representing small and large entities across the country.

Together, we want to give consumers confidence in the source of their flowers and assure them that the bouquets and bunches they purchase come from a domestic flower farm.

The coalition’s goal has been to create an identifiable, iconic and amazingly beautiful brand/logo that communicates the domestic origins as well as the high quality, freshness and consistency of the flowers and foliage they grow. The Certified American Grown program produces the Field to Vase Dinner Tour. Click here for the full 2016 schedule — we’ll see you there!
