The Sneeze Free Garden

The Sneeze Free Garden is a stunning pop-up, low-allergen garden on London’s Southbank, which has been designed using only low-allergen plants.

By ensuring that every plant used adheres to strict low-allergen criteria, this vibrant green space offers a haven for everyone this summer, especially to families looking to escape the hustle and bustle of the capital and relax in a radiant, tranquil space.

An abundance of more than 2,000 plants have been used to create this innovative, bespoke garden design. The bright display of plants will radiate colour using a diverse range of vivid Begonias, Fuchsias, Petunias, Geraniums, Hibiscus, Clematis and Bay trees to name a few of the many species.

Named The Sneeze Free Garden, allergy relief brand Piriton has worked with horticulturalist and founder of OPALSTM, Thomas Ogren, to develop the installation. OPALSTM is the world’s first plant-allergy scale and has been used as one of the criteria to determine the low-allergen plant selection for the garden – only plants rated one to five have been used as these are considered to be low-risk of triggering an allergic reaction.

Visitors to the Sneeze Free Garden will be able to enjoy the tranquility of this oasis in the heart of the capital as well as learn more about the plants used, their low-allergen qualities and more about allergies in general.
