Fun in the Garden
A Man Named Pearl
The inspiring story of self-taught topiary artist Pearl Fryar, whose unlikely journey to national prominence began with a bigoted remark. One homeowner voiced the collective concern: "Blacks can't keep up their yards." Pearl was stung by the racial stereotype and began fashioning a garden. Thirty years later he has created a magical three-acre topiary wonderland that annually draws thousands of visitors from around the world.
