Had a garden in Wales where we grew many trees/shrubs/perennials/ferns/bulbs.
Including Myrtus and Trachelospermum jasminoides

| try crushing the leaves as it has a strange smell. Apparently the Royal Family always have it in their wedding bouquets. Its picked especially from Osbourne House on the Isle of Wight (Queen Victorias residence) as they have loads of the bushes there

18 months ago it was looking almost immaculate.
It was pretty much a full time job for 2 of us to keep it neat and tidy.
The couple that bought the place bought it for our garage and 1,000 sq ft basement/storage space!
They both worked and have no real plant knowledge.
I dread to imagine what fate has befallen in since we left it.

Decades of work probably in ruins unfortunately. Hopefully they appreciate what went into it and either enrolled somebody to look after it or else got green fingered themselves.
