My boyfriend surprised me with this stop and it was well-worth the detour off the main road to visit. I love art and although I’m not usually fascinated by gardens, this one is special for sure. We pulled in and walked through the entire property. Pearl himself rode up to us several times on his tractor and talked with us about his sculptures and his garden. He speaks at colleges all over the place, including Harvard! The neighbors near him have taken notice of the attention his yard has gotten and they have stepped up their game as well. His message is solid “Peace Love & Goodwill” throughout. Definitely take the time to stop and say hello if you’re ever near this place! There is no charge for any of it, but there’s a donation box where you can leave cash which goes toward the maintenance and upkeep of the incredible garden. Two thumbs up. This place is a must-see!!!
