Hello,
It seems from the history that you have developed allergic lid edema because of exposure to some allergen while moving around in the garden.
The treatment is by cold compress, antiallergic drugs depending on the severity of allergy and using topical vasoconstrictor eye drops.
Since face is also swollen as from your history do visit eye docotor or physician for treatment of allergy.
Thank you
