4 Stars Very Very Nice
I saw this on HGTV last week. I also told my 90 year old grandmother to tune in and my Mom. We all really loved this movie. Pearl Fryar taught himself to do giant topiaries. He’s won awards and has a huge garden that people come from everywhere to see and walk through. The movie speaks with friends, his pastor, neighbors and the many visitors that come to see his work. He does everything himself, often working late into the night. His creations are really amazing. The only sad part is when he mentions that after he dies, his artwork will cease to exist, as opposed to other artists whose work lives on afer they’re gone. This is a very sweet movie and I recommend it for the whole family.

5 Stars Unbelievable Human Will
In todays dire economic environment, Pearl has shown us that it’s not money that spurs us on in life, but shear will and belief in ones vision and dreams. He took discarded trash heap plants and turned them into masterpieces. He is a master gardener who I hope to meet one day. Thanks Pearl. We love you!

5 Stars Pearl Fryar Visions of Topiary Art and Education
Bishopville, SC is located in Lee County, one of SC poorest counties. Poor in economics but not poor in the richness of their citizens. Pearl Fryar is a remarkable man that has put Bishopville, SC on the map. He started with a small seed of a dream to win “Yard of the Month”. His creative muse was unleashed with a 5-minute lesson on how to create a topiary with a chain saw from a plant rescued from a compost pile at City Nursery Wholesale Farm (one of seven nursery farms in the US licensed to grow ‘Encore’ Azaleas.

From one topiary grew two to three to Pearl’s entire 2-acre property. His message and philosophy is outlined in his garden with plants that spell, “Peace, Love & Goodwill”. Pearl is using his creative gift to support and lift up students in Lee County by receiving donations which he uses as scholarships to average “C” students in his community. He is a leader in his community with the theory “it takes a village to raise a child”. Pearl and his wife recognized the challenges young people have in their community with low incomes and decided to do something positive to help lift them up and away from a possible life of drugs and crime. Pearl and his wife are among many unsung American heros living in our backyards. I think every school and library should have a copy of this DVD and share Pearl’s message of “Love, hope and goodwill” with all students. You will find yourself laughing, crying and filled with inspiration when you watch this DVD. After you watch his DVD check out his website and visit his garden. You will be transformed!

4 Stars Makes you wanna go home and trim something!
This documentary is just so charming. It really shows you what’s important in life, to do what you love, to find what you’re good at and give it your all, and you most definitely will find happiness and inspire others.

ps. I cant wait to go visit Pearl’s garden !

5 Stars The Master of Topiary
This is a fascinating documentary about Pearl Fryar, a South Carolina man who has transformed his grounds into a dizzying display of plant sculptures. Fryar had no prior experience or knowledge of topiary and his only introduction to it was a brief demonstration at a local nursery. He immediately started landscaping his property with all kinds of evergreens and began training them into stunning shapes and designs with hedge trimmers and chainsaws. Interviews with Fryar’s neighbors, friends and family show the influence of his work on the townspeople, young people (he regularly speaks to college students and give tours to grade school students) and tourism for the town. A remarkable man and film, very uplifting!

3 Stars Too Green
Better Homes and Gardens has recently started getting a little too Environmental for my taste. If I wanted to know about all the lastest Green products and how to reduce my carbon footprint and all I would by a magazine about that. I just want to know about garden layout, perennials, how to make tasty dinners and desserts, and decorating my house. I am not going to be trading in my 77 cub cadet for an electric push mower any time soon.

1 Star can’t get any info about my subscription!
I ordered the two year plus the free recipe book. I have received nothing and the check was cashed over 2 months ago. Any email address for Better Homes and Garden does not work! Then when you call they say they don’t have any record of my subscription, but I should be receiving my magazine in March!

5 Stars Took 2 months, but finally received 1st issue
Bought this subscription for my wife as a Christmas stocking stuffer 12/12/2008. She received the first issue today 2/19/2009. It was a good deal, just do not expect it to appear in your mailbox anytime soon after purchase.

5 Stars consistently good
First, wanted to comment on the fact that i didn’t know amazon.com had magazines. it was a nice surprise and i will use them again. Secondly, Better homes and Garden consistently has great issues with information that everyone can use. I love the recipes and the creative ideas.

5 Stars Better Homes & Garden review
