DISASTER In My Tropical Garden UK

Total disaster in my Tropical Garden. I'm devastated.
My beautiful mural wall has collapsed and broken my lovely plants.
What can be saved ???

I was not expecting that so really felt your heartbreak there. However you have done so much positive change in your garden you will bounce back from this I'm sure :-) love Rich x

Thank you, husband and I have worked really hard getting it back and now we are almost done. Just the wall to get put back up now but the weather has been against us lately with the rain and waiting for the builder to slot us in. I did put a new vid up today so you can see our progress. Even the poor phormium in the corner after cutting it back hard, is showing signs of growth which is excellent news 👍👍👍🌴🌿

Oh no, that’s heartbreaking for you! I’m sure a lot of the plants will bounce back. Hang in there! Best wishes from another gardener here in Wales.

[@traceyrowlands1220]

Thanks we have had a big clear up today and now it looks much better. I'm just glad no one was hurt xx

So sorry to see this Tracey, but get out there, get those bricks cleaned up, and watch how beautifully resilient those plants are. Your garden will be back to normal in no time and with how quickly you have ideas, I have no doubt you’ll have another wall up in record speed! You can do this💪❤

[@traceyrowlands1220]

Awe thank you so much for the encouragement. I'll get out there tomorrow morning without fail. I'll get it done. I'm off Thursday too, so I'll have time to sort out the wooden edges. I hope they have just sunk into the ground. A few of the pavers have cracked but I will get it done ✅

[@livgardenuk]

So sorry, hope things recover quickly for you!

[@traceyrowlands1220]

I hope so too, I'm going to get out there tomorrow and have a good sort out 😊👍 Thank you ♥️

[@estherterrier6400]

Oh dear,what a shame,look on the positive side,you can redesign that bit now x

[@Yellowbellytropics]

Sorry to see that, How did that happen? Everything will bounce back sooner than you think.

[@traceyrowlands1220]

I don't know how it happened. How can a block wall just collapse. I'll clear a bit more tomorrow. I'll try and stay hopeful 🙂

[@traceyrowlands1220]

Thank you 😊

[@ilikeitwhenitssunny7067]

Omg no! I wasn’t expecting that

[@traceyrowlands1220]

I know, what a disaster !!!!!!

[@ilikeitwhenitssunny7067]

Sarah is shocked too. Hope it’s an easy fix

[@traceyrowlands1220]

It's looking much better now thanks....all going well....almost there xx

[@Gina0151]

Omg! You’d be dead if that had happened in the daytime while you were gardening. Thank your lucky stars it happened when it did because it was a dangerous wall and had to come down. It’s heartbreaking to lose cherished plants, but you’re ok and you will soon have it lovely again … but safe! Take care lovely ❤ you must have a guardian angel looking after you lovely xx

[@traceyrowlands1220]

Awe thank you. We are okay. We have cleared it up today and replanted the plants. We have stacked up the bricks in the driveway and now apart from not having a walk, the garden is looking quite good again. We will get there. I know I'm so lucky I was out there in the day videoing. Xxx

[@NinjaTeaDrinker]

Oh my gosh, wasn't expecting that! Did someone reverse into the wall maybe? Hope things might be saved 😊

[@traceyrowlands1220]

No, it's an empty house next door. I did hear the wind howling, or maybe it's the amount of rain we've had. I just don't know. I'm getting out there tomorrow morning for a good clean up 😁

[@GrowTropicalMK]

Oh sorry to see this has happened! The best ofnluck getting it sorted

[@traceyrowlands1220]

Thanks, I'll make a day of it tomorrow 👍

[@TropicalGlos]

You can cut the phormium right back almost to the ground and it will grow back no problem.

[@traceyrowlands1220]

Thank you I'm totally devastated. Just when I get the garden to its best. It's 4 years of work but I'll get it back x

[@marcusdosh408]

Phormium will soon bounce back. .. devastating though...

[@traceyrowlands1220]

I've tied it up. I'll leave it a while to try and retain shape. If it's no good I'll have to cut it back as a last escort 😔

[@marcusdosh408]

Who built the wall .... cannot build a single high wall with blocks like these unless doubled and tied.... absolutely gutted for ya sweetie😢

[@traceyrowlands1220]

Thank you mate. we had a builder in to do it for us. We are now gonna have it rebuilt but half the height, if that, maybe even put the blocks flat instead of upright for strength x
