Seasonal allergies plague so many of us, but why aren't we usually allergic to our houseplants? And why don't houseplants usually produce much pollen? What even is pollen, anyway? This week Cheryl gets into the birds and the bees...with plants to learn about pollen, flowers, and where seeds come from. It's never too late to learn about the world around you.
This is part of the Houseplants unit.
