Bristol Parks gave the project a green light earlier this year and the group began fundraising to hit their £3,500 total but exceeded it far earlier than expected. Redrow Homes has raised £ 300 ( $ 386 ) to transform an abandoned open space in Bedminster , Bristol , into a maze . After Bristol Council approved the project this year , a total of £ 3,821 was crowdfunded to build the project . Designed by a 16 - year - old who won a competition organised by Parson Street School , the maze will feature berry plants and paths with ornamental bark . A community group , joined by Redrow employees , will maintain the space before building the maze . The housebuilder is due to construct 110 homes at its nearby Adobe development .
