Garden Bees and Allergies

We all love gardens, be it flower gardens. Flowers seem to lift all our dull spirits and seem to make us feel good. Many people now a day have allergies and it is hard to enjoy the out side. If we choose plants and flowers wisely then the bees and allergies will just fly away.

While decorating our yards it is smart to take a clip board and draw the shape of your yard. This will help you start to plan where you wish to have a seating area versus an area with beautiful floras.

Before you purchase any plants be sure to ask the local nursery which plants attract bees and which are heavy pollen producers. Do not hesitate to go online also and look up the facts that the garden center has given you. Many times they have new people that are in a hurry and may not give you the right information. Also you can go and find a forum that will help in answering your questions.

By taking your drawing of your back yard and plan out from the back of the house plan your seating closest to the back door. Then work out from there. If you do not mind some foliage that attracts bees then make them furthest from you. Let’s face it sitting and sitting on ice tea and getting stung by a bee is the pits.

By working from your back door and out you will note that you want the lowest plant closest so that you can see and enjoy the other taller ones. Planning a backyard garden is the most fun and with the right plants can be your special relaxation grounds.
