A Man Named Pearl

Just 1.2 hours south/southwest of my m-i-l's house is Bishopville, South Carolina. There, at #165 so-and-so street lives Mr. Pearl Fryer, his wife, and his garden. We stopped at the Chamber of Commerce and asked where we could find said garden. When he moved into town some folks didn't want him to buy a home in their neighborhood (shame on you), because they didn't think he'd keep up his yard.
Well, in an effort to win the Yard of the Month award he's created this...(mostly with cast-0ffs from a local nursery)







My kids thought they were in Wonderland.



You may have heard of Pearl.



It was a little strange to walk right by this gentleman's home to stroll his gardens, but it's neat to see how one person can affect the world by staying put.
