It's not your average neighborhood landscaping. The 3-1/2-acre yard in Bishopville, S.C., is filled with topiary work representing broad ranges of artistic expression — the grand, the mystical and the whimsical — all rolled into one. And it's the creation of one man with no horticultural training, a shift job and little free time. Now retired from his factory job, Pearl is free to spend long hours shaping his living art pieces.
