A 58-year-old man, Martin Fitton, develops an Oriental-style backyard garden that he says cost about £20,000. According to reporting, Fitton began the project in 2009 and has expanded and refined it over several years. The garden features elements described as themed around Japanese and Zen aesthetics, including a water feature with a dragon design, a separate monk-like Zen space for calm or reflection, and what the articles describe as carefully shaped bonsai trees. The coverage also presents the project as part of Fitton’s longer-running gardening effort, portraying it as a gradual “level-up” of the space rather than a one-off landscaping job. While the outlets emphasize the visual and thematic components of the garden, the shared details across the articles focus on the timeline starting in 2009, the approximate total spend, and the inclusion of the specific water, Zen, and bonsai elements. The reporting does not indicate official permits or any involvement beyond Fitton’s own work and gardening journey.
