Pearl Fryor Topiary Gardens

Here are some pictures from the Topiary Gardens to just give you a taste of how amazing this place is. The garden is actually located in a neighborhood and Mr. Fryor has filled his yard and some of his neighbors' yards with his topiary art as well as metal sculpture (junk art as someone called it on Saturday - I believe it was his son). It is really worth the visit if you are ever in that neck of the woods. Its about 5 miles off I20 just below Camden, SC.












And just to give you a peek at my yard, which by no means compares to Pearl Fryors - here is my favorite spot to sit and read, or sew, or rock a cranky baby, or just do nothing but enjoy being outdoors. Also, our Tulip Poplar is blooming and I thought you might like to see one of the blossoms. They don't last long.

Now that I see pictures of that....I once saw a program on the local PBS station when we lived in VA about how they work at trimming those topiaries. I thought it was beautiful on tv. Bet it is extra pretty in person.

I had one of those trees in my yard in VA. It was huge....and a squirrel family lived up top!

Your garden is lovely and so green. I am fascinated by topiary such a lot of time trimming those trees into shapes.
