When our building was being renovated, there was no consideration for my plabts outside, the builders were completely ruthless with their work. They were just pushed to one side, after all the construction work was more important. However, I decided to adapt the various developments and my plants had a new place to survive on the scaffolding until the work was finished. Of course I had to re-arrange them daily as the buildiers permanently changed the scaffolding design, but they survived eventually.
