I said to my companion, what street is Pearl's Topiaries on? Before she could even say "I don't know," bang there was the sign!! Second Right!!
So we took the second right... the story goes like this...Mr Pearl Fryar moved into what was mainly a white neighborhood and the fear was that he wouldn't keep his home up to the standards of his neighbors... he was determined to win the Yard of the month award from the local Garden Club!! SO he began to spruce things up just a bit....
And his neighbors liked it so much they wanted him to spruce up their yards too...
Pearl says don't let obstacles control you...I think he has some very good advise
Now the entire block is legendary!
The yards are more attractive than the homes!
WISH I lived on his block!!
You never know what's out there till you go looking for it!! Just like topiary, its there all along, all you have to do is look for it--check out this YouTube
--he is quite a character..and if you're ever in Bishopsville, SC go by and see his street!!
PEACE
What a wonderful place and a special man! I've made a note in case I ever pass through there again.
