I finally got the chance to visit the garden. IT WAS POURING DOWN RAINING! I was disappointed because I didn't get to meet Mr. Pearl but maybe one day I'll go back to the garden on a better day. It was beautiful even in the downpour.
If you're ever near Columbia, SC, make the trip to Bishopville to see Mr. Fryar's yard. You will leave a better person than when you arrived. And if you are lucky, you might have the chance to chat with him. He is the embodiment of gracious humility coupled with a singular talent. His story proves that challenge can produce man's most spectacular achievements. It's more than a garden. It is a testament to rising up, not to conquer, but simply to prove that each of us is of equal value.
You're so right. I thought I was just going to see a garden, but I left there with an appreciation for his gift and an uplifted spirit. His message inspires you to go out and encourage other people.
