I’ve always loved topiary gardens, from the days that I owned a plant store.

My friend Robert just called me about the most amazingly wonderful story on Home and Garden Television, “A Man Named Pearl” about the Love, Peace & Goodwill Garden in Bishopville, S.C.

With all the talk about gardening, and my Michelle-Style post today about Black-owned media not covering the groundbreaking of the White House Kitchen Garden — Gardening (with weeding) Is A National Issue for Balcks and Whites Together — it’s positively delicious to watch such a splendid story of one man’s spirit and his relentless passion to create beauty in the land.
