A Brislington man is now inviting the public to visit his incredible back garden after a transformation that began over a decade ago. Martin Fitton was inspired by other picturesque gardens he had visited in the UK and is now sharing his serene home oasis, equipped with a zen garden, koi pond, garden room and fire pit area among other unique features.
Mr Fitton donates the funds raised from visits and tours to the National Garden Scheme (NGS). The NGS opens up private gardens to the public and donates the money to charity.
From the outside, there is nothing too distinctive about Mr Fitton’s house. But after 14 years of work on the garden, the hidden treasure in the middle of Brislington has been featured on Gardeners’ World and has gained media attention as far as Japan. The dad-of-two, who uses traditional Japanese techniques, has spent around £8,000 in landscaping and construction since he started the work.
