A green fingered jungle fanatic has spent £15,000 over the last 20 years to transform the back garden of his detached house into an incredible hidden rain forest.

Nick Wilson, 61, was inspired to transform his garden in Leeds after falling in love with big plants during family holidays to Cornwall in the 1990s.
