A green-fingered dad will be basking in the cool shade of his incredible back garden “jungle” as most of the U.K. sweats in blistering record temperatures this week.
Simon Olpin, 70, has been passionate about nature since he was a boy but due to his deathly fear of flying, he has never been able to travel the world and see any jungles.
So the consultant clinical biochemist has brought the jungle to his suburban garden in Sheffield, South Yorkshire, in northern England, in the United Kingdom, after planting his first tree from a ‘small pot’ back in 1987.
