A Man Named Pearl is now available on our YouTube channel. Pearl Fryar was a true community leader who poured his time into teaching kids the art of topiary, sharing both his craft and his way of seeing the world.

With no garden training of any kind, & restoring “throwaway plants” from a local nursery, Pearl Fryar remarkably creates a garden unlike any other. Pearl’s artistic vision & solitary determination create something extraordinary from virtually nothing. On our YouTube 4/24

Pearl Fryar transforms a sleepy, rural South Carolina community into a destination. Earning international acclaim from his self-taught topiary work, Pearl stands as a trailblazer in gardening & horticulture. The full film releases April 24 on our YouTube channel for free.

Pearl Fryar saw something most people didn’t—possibility in the discarded. A self-taught artist, he began rescuing plants & shaping them into a living work of art. The full film “A Man Named Pearl” will be released for free on our YouTube channel this Friday, April 24th.

A Man Named Pearl was never really about a garden. It was about a man who saw potential where others didn’t, & changed his entire community in the process. The full documentary comes to our YouTube channel Friday, April 24. Free. For everyone. Just the way Pearl would’ve wanted.
