    I do not think this is Ligustrum, more likely Laurocerasus.

    1, 6 - Viburnum davidii or its close relative V. cinnamomifolium.
    3 - Berberis thunbergii 'Atropurpurea' or other similar purple-leaf cultivar.
    7 - Prunus laurocerasus, maybe the cultivar 'Otto Luyken'.

    Viburnum cinnamomifolium produces a more ovate leaf and has a different branching structure from V. davidii. The hellebore is a Corsican hellebore. Purple Japanese barberry is considered a forma or a cultivar Group rather than a single cultivar 'Atropurpurea' - a great number of purple seedlings have been raised and sold. The laurel is very likely to be 'Otto Luyken'.
