If you haven’t heard of Pearl Fryar’s Topiary Garden in Bishopville, SC, then you may need to check this out. And the best thing about Pearl is he gives glory to God and encouragement to people:

Self-taught, hard-working, friendly, very creative, giving, and down to earth are all adjectives that describe this man.
God has made every human in His image and creativity is part of that image. God has made us stewards here and the artwork this man does beautifies his neighborhood and cheers people. He even does all of this without pesticides and grows Frazier Fir in the heat of South Carolina. I hope to visit his garden one day.

We actually stopped by and met Pearl a couple of years ago. Beautiful gardens and a very kind and gracious man!
Based on the documentary I saw about him and his garden, he must be about 72 years old now. I wonder if he is still going strong?
