A coalition of American flower farmers recently traveled to Washington, D.C., to participate in a historic moment in U.S. floriculture history.
On Feb. 27, Congresswoman Lois Capps and Congressman Duncan Hunter, both from California, announced the formation of the Congressional Cut Flower Caucus. Representing a bi-partisan effort to support and promote the domestic cut flower and greens farmers, the caucus is open to all members of Congress to join.
Benno Dobbe was a part of the delegation of flower farmers who were on hand to witness the official kickoff of the caucus and to help recruit their members of Congress to join. Dobbe’s flower farm, Holland America, is located in Woodland.
