Mr Fryar was very talented. He was self-taught. He was not allowed to move into the city limits of Bishopville, SC because the White people thought that he would not keep up his property. He created an in-your-face topiary garden on his rural property that took him years to complete. Mr Fryar -a college student, Korean War veteran, property owner and an award winning topiary gardner. There is a YouTube documentary about Mr Fryar named: A Man Named Pearl.

I drove all the way from Ohio to visit the Garden. What a whimsical feel it gives. I spent about two hours talking to Mike and walking around Pearl’s garden. Thanks for creating this legacy Mr Fryar. I loved every second of my visit.
This is a very special outdoor Topiary garden created by the self-taught Topiary artist Pearl Fryar, who passed away this year. It is in a private residential area but open to the public. 3 acres of Topiary Garden great work and awesome views. Also, if you look down the neighborhood you can see the artist topiary work in neighboring gardens as well. Lovely place

The Pearl Fryar Topiary Garden is a unique and captivating attraction, showcasing the remarkable talents of its creator, Pearl Fryar, a self-taught topiary artist. This outdoor garden covers 3 acres and sits in a private residential area that is open to the public. Visitors can enjoy great work and awesome views, and they can also see topiary work in neighboring gardens by looking down the neighborhood. Visitors are treated to a guided tour, where they can learn about Pearl's passion and dedication to his art. The garden is a must-see destination for anyone interested in exceptional topiary work and a testament to the power of individual creativity. Years ago, Pearl took unwanted plants and trees and trained them as they grew into topiaries. Pearl passed away in 2026. There is a grassy parking area across from the gardens, but this is a man's home, so please be respectful when walking the grounds.
