Supporting the contributions and goals of Lavender Growers Month.
Referred to the House Committee on Agriculture.
This resolution is a non-binding House simple resolution that recognizes Lavender Growers Month and encourages people to learn about and support lavender farms. It was introduced and considered only in the House of Representatives and does not become law. It does not require Senate approval or the President's signature and does not create legal rights or obligations.
Simple resolutions are acted on by only one chamber of Congress and are not sent to the other chamber or the President. They express the position or recognition of that chamber but have no binding legal effect.
This simple House resolution recognizes Lavender Growers Month, noting lavender’s role as a specialty crop with uses across agriculture, wellness, culinary arts, and manufacturing.
It highlights lavender farms’ contributions to rural economies, many being small or women-led, states June–July as peak bloom, and encourages Americans to visit and support lavender farms and businesses.
