Pregnant women exposed to pollen shortly before birth are more likely to have children with severe asthma - Daily Mail

It is also possible that pregnant women with severe reactions to pollen suffer complications that affect the child, it is claimed.The scientists, led by Dr Adrian Lowe, from the University of Umea, wrote: 'It is likely that pollen sensitised mothers exposed to high levels of pollen during pregnancy are at increased risk of symptoms and asthma exacerbations. This may in turn change the intrauterine environment..'Alternatively, symptomatic mothers during high pollen periods may have an increased risk of pregnancy complications, including pre-eclampsia, pre-term birth and impaired foetal growth, which could influence the risk of wheezing illness.'Further work is required to elucidate exactly how pollen exposure may prime the foetal immune system towards severe respiratory illness in early life.'... https://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-2258530/Pregnant-women-exposed-pollen-shortly-birth-likely-children-severe-asthma.html

Newark-Granville Symphony Orchestra. How great is that?!?” Casting around for ideas for money-making projects, Eli turned to his great-great-uncle Adrian, who is 98-years old and living in Connecticut, where he still farms. His great-great-uncile suggested Eli plant and sell zinnias. Eli seized on the idea. His grandmother acquired the seeds, then Eli planted 1,000 of them before heading to camp for a month near Indianapolis. While her big brother was at camp, sister Devon, age 7, and a student at Granville Elementary School and the rest of his  family tended to Eli’s developing plants. “They were just blooms,” when he left for camp, Eli said. He returned to something else. “I was really surprised to come back and see them like this,” he said. On the afternoon of Aug. 7, the Davidoff family, including father Adam, were in the parking lot of Ross’ IGA for the Tuesday Farmer’s Market, selling Eli's locally grown bouquets of zinnias, “100% of the proceeds” from which go to the “Overture Project.” School schedules allowing, Eli’s plan is to be at as many Tuesday Farmer’s Markets as he can, selling his Granville-grown zinnias. The Granville Area Chamber of Commerce Tuesday Farmers’ Market is held each Tuesday, from 3-6 p.m., in the parking lot of Ross Granville Market, 484 S. Main St., in Granville. https://www.newarkadvocate.com/story/news/local/granville/2018/08/14/flowers-power-effort-help-more-lower-income-kids-study-music/934013002/

Flower growers see sales wither as planting season launches - CBC.ca

Canadian production stems from Ontario. Neighbouring New York and Ohio have also forced garden centres to lock their doors, while Michigan and Vermont have banned retailers from selling non-essential products, including home gardening items. "If they don't open, the damage is going to be astronomical," said trade group head Andi Kuyvenhoven, noting garden centres' crucial role for bedding plants in particular. British Columbia — the second-biggest flower and plant producer — Alberta and Manitoba and have allowed garden centres to keep running, while Quebec deemed them essential along with nurseries as of April 15, though not in time for Easter. Kuyvenhoven, who with his wife co-owns a $2.5-million business selling potted Chrysanthemums and indoor calla lilies — largely to U.S. distributors — on a pair of farms west of Toronto, says clogged supply chains south of the border remain a problem. 'I haven't slept in five weeks' "U.S. customers for a time closed their distribution systems to floral and so the main grocery chains were not purchasing plants," he said, which was hard on growers of cut flowers such as roses and tulips. "If a truck can take 24 skids and four skids were flowers, the flowers came off the trucks and they put more food on the truck — which we completely understand. The only challenge is, when you're growing flowers as we do, they also have a shelf life," said Kuyvenhoven, who bought his business from his parents in 1990. "Now we're now facing liquidity issues...I haven't slept in five weeks." Flowers Canada Growers says exports to the U.S. make up about one-third of greenhouse flower and plant sales, which hit $1.6 billion in 2018, according to Statistics Canada. Nursery sales topped $500 million. While garden centres can continue to operate across much of the continent, growers wonder whether bouquets and flower pots will remain on the shopping list of consumers struggling to make rent amid soaring unemployment numbers and a looming recession. Kuyvenhoven is hoping that families confined to their homes for most of the day will choose to spend what they've saved from unpurchased vacations and lattes on plants for their vases and flower beds. "That's part of what's carried us through downturns in the past," he said. Growers associations are in talks with federal and provincial governments over potential financial relief, with Flowers Canada Growers asking for a "cash injection" as well as extended debt repayment plans secured in part by Ottawa, Kuyvenhoven said. So far, the federal government has extended a stay of default for eligible farmers until Oct. 31, giving flower and potted plant producers an extra six months to pay off federal loans that would have been due at the end of April. Ottawa has also granted exemptions on air travel restrictions to temporary foreign workers and invested $50 million to help farmers fly in labourers on charter trips.

For Livingston County nurseries closed over the coronavirus: 'May is make it or break it' - Livingston Daily

Her hanging flower baskets and flats of flowers are beginning to bloom as April nears its halfway point. However, like other nurseries and retail garden centers in Michigan, Morehouse's business, Tulip Tree Gardens, is not going to open for the season on time.The delay is due to Gov. Gretchen Whitmer's stay home order, which she recently extended until April 30 with tighter restrictions. "If Gov. Whitmer keeps everything closed past May 1, she'll kill agriculture," Morehouse said. "Half of what I've prepared to sell would be sold by Mother's Day."She said she believes any more extensions of the stay home order would bankrupt nurseries like hers. MORE: New map shows where COVID-19 cases are in countyMORE: Former judge David Reader to run for county prosecutorMORE: No Livingston County residents charged with order violationsBefore the spread of COVID-19 in the state, Morehouse was planning to open Saturday. She said the season ends for her in July, but most of her business is done in May and June. She said she is worried she will have to toss plants she's been growing and tending for months. The financial loss in equipment and investment in plants could be at least $45,000, not accounting for lost sales. She continues watering her plants every day, hopin... https://www.livingstondaily.com/story/news/local/community/livingston-county/2020/04/17/livingston-flower-nurseries-limbo-may-make-break-it-garden-centers/2986553001/
