Choosing a low allergy garden

About Me

Choosing a low allergy garden

I love to look at a colourful flowering garden but my husband gets terrible seasonal pollen allergies and hay fever with many traditional flowering plants. That's why I have been looking at low allergy options so that we can both have the type of garden that we love in our home. This blog has some tips on the kinds of plants that I have found that grow well in the Australian climate while emitting low levels of pollen. I hope it is useful to other Aussies who are trying to plan a beautiful garden while dealing with seasonal allergies and hay fever.

Mulch can be used on flowerbeds, vegetable gardens and around trees and shrubs to suppress weeds, protect roots during cold weather and support moisture retention in the soil. By doing this, you can prevent plants from drying out during the summer months. Additionally, mulch can be organic or inorganic.
