Planting the right type of trees, flowers for a sneeze-free garden is a necessity for some allergy sufferers who endure unpleasant symptoms of hay fever each spring.
If you are a sufferer of allergies or asthma, here are three things you can do to improve the situation immediately:
- Don't go out into the garden on windy days when pollen is blowing everywhere. Conversely take care on hot still days because pollen hangs in the air.
- Keep weeds down as they produce lots of pollen
- Don't have your own compost heap. These are havens for fungi and spores which cause reactions.
Flowers are still okay although you should avoid all daisy-like flowers. There are still plenty of flowers to include in your garden. French lavender, roses gardenias, azaleas, jasmine, clematis and boronia are all ideal in the low-allergy garden. However each individual should discover if any of these will have an effect on you.
If you love a lawn then sow or lay buffalo grass or 'Greenlees Park' couch. Most grasses have a high pollen count and spell disaster for most hay fever and asthma sufferers. Perhaps it is best to let others mow the lawn or do it early in the morning when the dew is still present.
Trees to avoid are Wattle, Birch, Olive, Walnut, Maple, Oak, Privet, Cypress, Willow and Elm.
