Pearl Fryar

This Senate resolution honors Pearl Fryar, a Clinton, North Carolina native and South Carolina resident known for creating a famous topiary garden from discarded plants. The bill formally expresses the South Carolina Senate's profound sorrow over his death on April 4, 2026, and extends its deepest sympathy to his wife, Metra, and son, Patrick. As a procedural measure, the resolution does not change laws or allocate funds but instead serves as an official statement of respect and recognition for Fryar's life and community contributions. A copy of the resolution will be presented to his family to acknowledge their loss.
