Keep tabs on the Victoria pollen count over the next few days. Use the tracker for an accurate pollen forecast in any area – get the green light for a day out at Craigdarroch Castle, picnic in Beacon Hill Park or walk around Inner Harbour.
Trees produce pollen in Victoria predominantly from February until July. Victoria’s top tree allergens are Alder, Pine, Poplar, and Birch trees1. An unusual additional pollinator on Vancouver Island is Hemlock. In April grass adds its pollen to the air, which will last through July. Luckily, weed pollen has little presence here so while hay fever symptoms begin early, they will also hopefully dissipate soonest.
The lush greenery that surrounds Victoria can unfortunately bring tears to the eyes of those of us with allergies, and not the good kind either. The manicured lawns of the Legislative Assembly of British Columbia, gardens of Craigdarroch Castle, and many trees of Beacon Hill Park can aggravate hay fever symptoms. As beautiful as it is, Abkhazi Garden can also pose a significant pollen risk. Check Your Pollen Pal before making plans!
Springtime in Victoria – beginning as early as February but generally between March and May - is when the tree pollen count is at its peak. Pollen from trees and grass are prominent at different times so it’s a good idea to use the tracker to plan your trips and avoid being caught out. When going to the city’s green spaces is not in the cards, there are still plenty of other things to do.
