THE NEWS/home&gardening How to create a low-allergen garden S
trangely enough, most of the things that I’m allergic to come from the 1970s. For example, put me anywhere near a tuna casserole, a Neil Diamond song (particularly Sweet Caroline), reruns of The Love Boat or circa 1975-80, AMC Pacers – and suddenly, I break out in a rash and Gardening swell up like a balloon. Mike Lascelle Fortunately, I am quite capable of avoiding these minor annoyances, while those people with real allergies often struggle with serious physical symptoms while also trying to diagnose the numerous factors that can trigger them. Gardens, or the plants in them, are often the culprits. The botanical factors which might aggravate allergic symptoms include fine hairs (indumentum) on the foliage of London Plane trees (Platanus), pollen clouds wafting off male plants such as Taxus x media ‘Brownii’ and even the strong perfume or fragrance of honeysuckle (Lonicera). Then there are those garden plants that commonly cause dermal reactions, such as Euphorbia (with its milky sap), prickly junipers and rue (Ruta).
Thankfully, an allergen rating system for plants has been established based on 70 different factors – some of which include flower size, method of pollination (wind or insect-borne pollen), fragrance, individual pollen structure, the plant family and the length of the pollination period. While the latter problem is easily resolved by wearing gloves when handling these plants, what do you do for more dynamic and harder to control factors, such as air-borne pollen? Thankfully, an allergen rating system for plants has been established based on 70 different factors – some of which include flower size, method of pollination (wind or insect-borne pollen), fragrance, individual pollen structure, the plant family and the length of the pollination period.

(From left) Alcea, or Hollyhock; Coleus; Mophead Hydrangea/Hydrangea macrophylla. It is referred to as the OPALS (Ogren Plant Allergy Scale) scale and this system was developed by Thomas Ogren (MS Agriculture) who began the process by asking himself two basic questions: What do plants that are known not to cause allergies have in common with each other; and, what do plants that are well known to cause allergies have in common? The resulting system was favourably peer-reviewed by botanists and allergists, and eventually adopted by the USDA (US Department of Agriculture) to create allergy ratings for plant material used in all major US cities. The OPALS scale works on a simple one to 10 numerical rating, with one being the lowest allergen level and 10 being plants that almost always cause allergic reactions. A sampling of rated plants from best to worst for allergies would include Acer rubrum ‘October Glory’ (1), single hollyhocks (Alcea 3), Abelia (5), Buxus or boxwood (7) and male mulberry (Morus) trees (10). Take note that some of the worst offenders are male selections of dioecious plants (with male and female flowers on separate plants) that had been used extensively in the past because they produce no messy
fruit, unfortunately what they do emit are clouds of air-borne pollen. You should also be looking to choose disease-resistant plants (particularly roses), as the spores from fungal infections such as rust, black spot and powdery mildew can also trigger allergies. I recently had a design customer request to keep all the selections for her new garden strictly to low-allergen plants – which meant I had to do a little research. My first assumption that foliar plants would be less allergic turned out to be wrong, as the aforementioned boxwood produces copious amounts of pollen when not constantly pruned. Similarly, there are many floriferous plants such as flowering quince (Chaenomeles) and purple-leaf plum (Prunus cerasifera ‘Pissardii Nigra’) that rate quite low on the OPALS scale. To give you some idea of what would be appropriate for a low-allergen garden, here is a short list of plants that rate less than four on the OPALS scale: • Shrubs: heavenly bamboo (Nandina), Mexican orange (Choisya), Oregon grape (Mahonia), Camellia, mophead hydrangea (H. macrophylla), Potentilla, strawberry
bush (Arbutus unedo). • Perennials: black-eyed Susan (Rudbeckia), cape fuchsia (Phygelius), lilyturf (Liriope), bergenia, daylily (Hemerocallis), Iris, hens and chicks, columbine (Aquilegia), lupine, sea thrift (Armeria), Heuchera, blue star creeper (Isotoma), sunrose (Helianthemum), hardy geranium. • Summer flowers: zinnia, lobelia, impatiens, begonia, snapdragon, petunia, coleus. • Bulbs: tulip, daffodil, canna lily, grape hyacinth (Muscari), gladiolus, windflower (Anemone). For a more comprehensive listing (albeit southern California focussed), visit www. asthmasandiego.org (click resources, then low allergy plants- full list) or look for Mr. Ogren’s book, Allergy-Free Gardening (Ten Speed Press, 2004). I’ve uploaded a new story, Buy a Cheap Garden Tool ... Kill a Coral Reef, to my garden blog at www.soulofagardener.wordpress.com – I hope it inspires you to carefully consider your next tool purchase.

We Are Selling Our Detached Home For $28,000 Below Its Current (2011) Assessed Value
Our peaceful backyard and garage/workshop/ potential future coach home
Maple Ridge (BC) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; My name is Dawn, and my husband and I have lived in this home in Maple Ridge for 11 years now, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always been our dream to get a home on acreage, especially once the kids moved out. Well, they have now, and in fact our daughter is getting married in a couple months. Hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s our dilemma: Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been looking around at homes on acreage, like we always do, but we canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take any real steps until weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve sold our home. We have a beautiful, well maintained 2 storey home with a finished basement, and a nice private backyard where we often relax and enjoy our hot tub. Our basement is not walk-out, but a contractor has told us we could convert it to a walk-out for around $5,000. My husband likes to putter around, so he has turned our 20x20â&#x20AC;&#x2122; garage into a workshop with 9â&#x20AC;&#x2122; high ceilings, 220V wiring, tel. and cable hook ups. Maybe a 400 sq ft future coach home (if District of Maple Ridge allows it)??
We spend a lot of time out of the house, and so our home is in great condition. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve tried to sell in the past, but to be honest; we werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really ready or motivated back then. But we are now. If we had more time, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d ask at least $480,000, and it would probably sell for close to that. I say this because another very similar home down the road has recently been listed at $488,100. Anyway...thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d do if we had more time. But we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t. We want to sell our house within 2 weeks, and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve decided to sell it for $464,000 so we can be sure to sell it in time to get the house we really want. Our Realtor is having an open house this Sunday, April 3, at 2pm sharp, and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be accepting offers on Sunday night after the open house, if we havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t had any on the previous days. Our Realtor has set up a free recorded message with all the details about our house and directions on how to get here. You just need to call 888-560-4780, ext. 22, or if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to see it before or after the open house, if still available, you can call our Realtor, Neville Adomi with HomeLife Trendsetter Realty at 604-467-4420.
