I'm eager to start a flower and vegetable garden, but I'm struggling with really bad pollen allergies during the summer months. I know that my garden will be outdoors, so I'll be surrounded by flowers. Allergy meds haven't been very effective for me this time of year, so I'm hoping to find some solid advice or tips to help manage my pollen allergies while I'm working in my garden. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

One simple thing you can try is wearing a mask while you garden! A regular mask can help filter out some of the pollen. Those specific masks used for spraying also have filters and work really well, though they might be a bit inconvenient for longer periods. It’s not the most comfortable, but it can definitely help reduce your symptoms!
Thanks for the tip! I’ll give that a shot, it sounds practical!
