About Pollen in Gravesend

Gravesend experiences significant spring allergen peaks: Birch pollen (March-April) and Oak pollen (April-May) emanate from mature trees in Gordon Promenade Gardens, Jeskyn’s Community Woodland, and wider Gravesham green spaces; Grass pollen dominates May-July, originating from Thames Estuary riverbanks, local meadows, and urban parkland.

The Thames valley microclimate, combined with Gravesend’s urban hardscapes, can concentrate airborne pollen levels; late-season mould spores escalate from late summer through autumn-winter, driven by decomposing damp leaf litter in areas like Shorne Woods Country Park and Gravesend’s shaded, damp zones.
