"Garden History
Pearl Fryar cleared a cornfield on his home property in Bishopville, SC in the early 1980's.
Without any horticultural experience, he created a three-acre topiary garden that is stunningly beautiful, whimsical, educational, and deeply inspiring. Many of the plants in the garden were rescued from nursery compost piles. Pearl transformed discarded trees and shrubs into an arresting landscape of living plant sculptures.
The 2006 documentary film, A Man Named Pearl, premiered in New York City and was shown on national television. It still remains a favorite at garden festivals. View the trailer here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JVw4aNF-aMw.
