Family member destroyed my garden in las vegas and my 5 year ruby rubber tree I had outside. Is it normal to be this upset and devastated about it. It the before and after photo. I could barely to look and take a photo of the rest.
Im really sad. Heart broken. Almost like I lost a hamster or something
Fucking assholes!!! So sorry you have to deal with this. You made it beautiful once before and you can again. Get a good quality camera up too.

I’m so sorry this happened

It is absolutely normal to feel upset when someone destroys something of yours. Especially if it was something you put a lot of care and effort into. This was incredibly cruel. Dont listen to anyone trying to pull the “it’s just a plant” they were yours and they were beautiful and they meant something to you. I’m so sorry, i hope they recover well.
My plants have names. I love them. If someone intentionally destroyed them I would be on the news.

Im really sorry 🫂 We love our plant babies, nurture them, spend precious time taking care of them. Totally normal to feel upset. I’d give you cuttings of my plants if I could!

It’s completely normal to feel strongly about this, you put a lot of love and care into those plants. I’m sorry this happened to you.

Be angry, then rebuild! It looked amazing before it got beat up! Time for a do over.
LadyPotatus
This truly sickens me for you. The fact that a family member did this makes it EXTRA cruel. 😭
I gotta be honest here. Not only is it normal to be upset and devastated, I would be beyond irate and filing a police report. I don’t care if it’s my “family”, this is destruction of property. Plants aren’t cheap, we pour our money, time and care into these. 💔
I am so sorry, OP. 😔

Eww ewww ewwww who does that 😐

Unless this was a young child or someone with a disability who couldn’t control their actions during big emotions, I’d disown that family member immediately. So yes, it’s completely normal to be this upset.

That’s horrible. I’m so sorry for your loss OP. 😔💚

By accident or on purpose?

I would actually cease contact with this family member

Oh wow!! My personality?? They would not be welcomed anymore. Forgive? Yes! Forget? Hell to the no! Plus plants are live & breathing beings to me anyway. My O my!! I’m so very sorry that happened to you!! 🌸🎚️♾️

I would be getting someone’s allowance! Yes, you are valid to be up set. I would need counseling ☺️

I’d be livid!! Why would anyone do this?!

I’d be so heartbroken. We put so much time and love into our plants, this is horrible

Id be absolutely infuriated. This is where turnabout is definetly fair play.
littlewibble
Are you okay, do you know the whereabouts of this person, do you have people close to you to reach out to? I would take this as a threat to my personal safety, people often escalate violent acts.
Gentle_Genie
I’d call the police

I am so sorry. How you feel is completely normal. I wouldn’t be able to look at any plants for quite some time probably. Virtual hugs 🫂 ❤️

If really up the value of replacing the plants at the age they were when destroyed and taking that shit stain to small claims. Just for the point of it.
OrganicKraftSingles
You can replant so many of them!! An opportunity to redecorate your patio ❤️
But I would be devastated, I’m sorry that happened at all
GiantPothos
It’s ok to be sad about this and it’s also ok to protect your peace by not allowing people capable of these kinds of things into your life, even if they are family.
littleturtleone
Very normal and fair to be upset about losing something you worked hard on and were proud of.
Eventually it will grow back 💚
diegg
Uhm… yes it is normal to be very upset devastated about this.

EgonOnTheJob
I’m so sorry OP. It’s not just the loss of the plants – it’s also the destructive, hateful disregard for your time, effort, energy, and the emotions you experienced throughout their growing cycles, and the imagination you had of what they’d look like in the future. All of that has been trashed by someone who sounds like a vicious, repugnant person.
RIP Ruby May. I hope you’re able to allow yourself to grieve for this destruction, and then to start working on a new garden with new plant friends.

Yes!! You probably worked hard and enjoyed it. They destroyed it to hurt you. My first husband destroyed some things that belonged to my grandparents. I cried.

Honestly, plants are expensive and people don’t change without accountability. I’d report it to the police for destruction of property and vandalism and then take them to small claims court for the cost of the plants.
Aware_Sweet5774
File a police report!
myfrecklesareportals
They destroyed something you loved and put your heart into. I would be broken if that happened to me. I love my plant babies.
Unfair_Bowler_8330
I’m so sorry your kindness was met with this destruction.
Go sit out there and mourn with your plants, they know, they feel and then lovingly mend them back together while giving y’all both some grace to get through this… big hugs.

Some might survive if you can repot/ water

I am so sorry. It is normal to be incredibly upset about this. The person who did this to you is a jerk.
AVeryFineWhine
Of course, it’s normal to be beyond upset. But I want to suggest putting your energy into loving those babies back to health. Look at what you have control over… Such as saving what you can & hopefully not having that situation again. But for now, use that energy and focus on repotting, nurturing, and you and the plants recovering from this!!! Sending tons of good wishes and positive energy
Electrical-Bed-2381
Awww 🙁 I don’t blame you at all for being heart broken about this. It was such a lovely area with all the flowers and greenery.
Give yourself time and start over. I’m sure watching everything grow again will bring much joy to your heart.

I would cry and the level of vengeance would only be dulled by my sadness.
