BLYTHEWOOD – The Blythewood Garden Club celebrated its 70th anniversary with a garden tour on Saturday. The Blythewood gardens of Elaine Tyler, above, and Danny Hanna, below, were on the tour. The tour included small, carefully-designed gardens as well as larger spaces and farms.

The garden club has been part of the fabric of Blythewood since 1963 when 25 women organized the club. Today, they plant container gardens for the town’s businesses, library and post office, and raise money for these projects with plant sales. The club currently has 20 members.
