Pollen season can be misery for allergy sufferers, and April is when levels start to surge, especially as tree pollen season peaks in many regions. If you want to create a more allergy-friendly yard to enjoy year-round, there are some low-pollen garden swaps to reduce symptoms.
You can make a difference by picking low-pollen plants and insect-pollinated ones, and avoiding high-pollen, wind-pollinated trees, shrubs, and flowers. Picking plants with heavier pollen and certain blooms actively reduces the amount of pollen dispersed into the air, helping reduce allergy symptoms.
