5 Stars
I give this movie 5 stars. Not because it's the best
documentary I've seen, but because of the message Pearl Fryer gives to
people—you can overcome your obstacles. A poorly educated black man who worked his way
up the ranks at his job buys a house with a huge yard. The neighbors complain
about the property values going down. Yeah. Right. Pearl attended a
demonstration on topiary at the local nursery, and began to go to the nursery
to 'harvest' the unwanted and tossed plants from the compost heap out back. He
brought them to his yard, planted them, nurtured them, and then got his pruning
shears and saws out. Singlehandedly, Pearl put Bishopville, SC on the map with
his world class topiary garden, open to the public seven days a week.
