June is California Grown Flowers Month
The tradition of recognizing California Grown Flowers by the state’s lawmakers is in its third year, helping to highlight the value California’s flower farmers bring to their communities and the economy.
The California Cut Flower Commission (CCFC) will be celebrating all month long, highlighting farms and thanking designers, retailers and consumers for featuring that little blue and gold license plate on their flowers.

California’s flower farmers represent the largest group of licensees for the Buy California Marketing Agreement that manages the California Grown program. Millions of stems of flowers are labelled CA Grown and can be found in wholesale and retail coolers across the country. You can find them by looking for the blue-and-gold license plate on the sleeve.
