THE PEARL FRYAR TOPIARY GARDEN

This is the humble yet elaborate mailbox at the driveway to Pearl's home.

Close up of the name and number plate

The hedges show number 165 which was the original number of the house. He said it he couldnt make the 6 into a 4 so it stayed as is.


This is a picture of his ranch home on a quiet street in Bishopville, SC


Adelina posing in front of some fabulous trees...it was like her secret garden.


Pearl also makes junk art for his garden...the stumps are decorated with different pieces


You can see how the simple ladder is dwarfed by the huge carved out trees.


The triangle garden that starts at the end of the driveway but is kind of the beginning of the trail.   At the back of the triangle (widest part) 4 bushes spell out L O V E... I dont know what happened to the closeup of that.


These are mushroom trees and junk art.


I like this little area alot, the kids like the swirling snake bushes


A photo coming around from the back of the house...every inch of this place has something


Another little vignette...looks like the top of an ice cream cone


Sailing ship juniper



Coming around to the main event.

There he is: Pearl coming to visit his guests (US) on his John Deere

Pearl Fryar and the Josephs, he let Maya sit on his John Deere!

Pearl was giving hubby his opinion of us moving to South Carolina. (Notice my former football player husband holds our 5 month old like a football.lol)

The neighbors house...Pearl has taught them well.

PEARL F. FRYAR.....A SOUTH CAROLINA TREASURE!

Well any of you who watch HGTV might have seen their special last year on Mr. Pearl Fryar.   They did a feature on his garden in Bishopville, South Carolina.   Mr. Fryer is now 70 years old and still maintaining his garden.  I wanted to visit him last year on my trip down to SC but didn't get the chance.  This time as I was driving to Myrtle Beach from Rock Hill I saw the sign for Bishopville and couldn't pass up the opportunity to meet this man and have my children see this amazing garden.

I intend on doing a full post once I'm back from South Carolina but here is a sneak peek of some beauty.
