🌹 KEEP BROKEN ARROW BEAUTIFUL PRESENTS 🌹
SATURDAYS IN THE GARDENS (This event is sponsored by KBAB and Kilwins in the Rose District)

🎃 A Boo-tiful Day in The Gardens 🎃
Join Keep Broken Arrow Beautiful (KBAB) for the inaugural seasonal “Saturdays in The Gardens at Central Park” — a new series inviting the community to slow down, enjoy the beauty of The Gardens, and discover a little something special along the way.

Stop by, stroll the paths, find a spot to sit, enjoy the fall surroundings and snap a few photos while you’re there . . .

And, because every good Fall/Halloween outing deserves a sweet treat, the first 20 visitors will receive a generous Kilwins gift card to enjoy something delicious — ice cream, chocolate, caramel apples or whatever your sweet tooth is craving!

📅 Saturday, October 31
📍 The Gardens at Central Park
1500 S. Main Street, Broken Arrow

🍦 SPONSOR SPOTLIGHT: KILWINS - Chocolates, Fudge, Ice Cream 🍫
A longtime favorite for handcrafted chocolates, fudge, caramel apples and ice cream, Kilwins brings a little extra sweetness to the Rose District — and now to our very first Saturdays in The Gardens.

We are grateful to Kilwins for helping us launch this new seasonal series and for sharing a sweet treat with our community.

Kilwins Broken Arrow — “Sweet in Every Sense Since 1947.”
217 S. Main Street, Broken Arrow

Come stroll. Sit awhile. Take a photo. Enjoy The Gardens — then head to Kilwins in the Rose District to enjoy your sweet treat gift!

Fall Flowers Have an Important Job! 🦋🌸🌻🪻

Just because summer is over doesn’t mean our gardens are finished working!

As temperatures begin cooling across Oklahoma, something remarkable is happening.

Pollinators are still searching for food.

And some are preparing for an incredible journey.

🦋 Monarch butterflies migrate through Oklahoma on their way south to Mexico.

Late-season flowers provide valuable nectar during that journey.

Native bees and other pollinators also benefit from flowers that continue blooming into fall.

Want to make your landscape a little more pollinator-friendly?

Consider including plants such as:

🌸 Aromatic asters — Beautiful purple blooms that support pollinators.

💛 Goldenrod — Bright yellow flowers that provide valuable late-season resources.

💙 Azure blue sage — Delicate blue flowers that add color and attract pollinators.

These plants can help extend the blooming season while adding natural beauty to Oklahoma landscapes.

Even if you’re not planting anything right now, take a look around your yard.

What’s still blooming?

What could you add to next year’s garden?

A beautiful landscape doesn’t just look good. It can support the living things that make our environment thrive. 💚

🌼 Tell us: What’s your favorite fall-blooming flower?

A Beautiful Community Should Be Beautiful for Everyone 🌹

When we think about beautifying Broken Arrow, we often picture colorful flowers, landscaping, public art, and inviting green spaces.

But there’s another important part of beautification that deserves attention.

Accessibility.

A beautiful park means something different to someone who uses a wheelchair.

A shaded bench can make a meaningful difference to an older adult who needs a place to rest.

A clear, unobstructed sidewalk matters to someone pushing a stroller.

Accessible pathways help residents with mobility challenges enjoy the same community spaces as everyone else.👩🏻‍🦽‍➡️

And thoughtfully maintained public areas help make our city more welcoming.

Beautification isn’t only about what a place looks like.

It’s also about how people experience it.

Can they navigate it?

Can they comfortably spend time there?

Can they participate?

Do they feel welcome?

These are important questions when considering what makes a community truly beautiful.

Because the most beautiful spaces aren’t simply the ones people admire. They’re the ones people can enjoy.

At Keep Broken Arrow Beautiful, we believe community pride grows when we care for the places we share.

💚 What features make a park or public space feel welcoming and accessible to you?

🌹 Rain in the Rose District

Don’t let the rain stop you from strolling the Rose District. The roses are covered in sparkling raindrops - almost like little tears of joy for the welcome rain. 🌧️🌹

The Rose Festival may be over, but the roses are still inviting you to slow down, take a walk, bring the dog and enjoy a quieter side of Main Street on Sunday Mornings.

You might even meet a few Rose District regulars along the way, like Mookie, a lovable Goldendoodle who seems to enjoy the rain almost as much as the roses do. He especially loves trying to catch the sparkling sprays of water at the splash pad, while his human, Carl, enjoys spending time in the Rose District. 🐾💦

A little rain certainly isn’t stopping Carl and Mookie from enjoying the Rose District - and we hope it won't stop you. 🌹

🍂🐾 Cooler temps, crunchy leaves and longer walks? We have a feeling our four-legged festival friends are VERY happy that fall has arrived! 🌹🐶

We had so much fun seeing all the pups - and their humans - stop by and share their festival excitement in our “Sit, Stay & Smell the Roses” selfie frame during the 2026 Broken Arrow Rose Festival. 🌹📸

From big dogs to little dogs, perfect posers to pups who had other ideas 😂, they definitely added a lot of smiles to festival weekend!

Did you snap a photo of your four-legged friend at the festival? Share it with us below in the comments - we’d love to see them! 🐾📸🌹

We hope to see all of our furry festival friends back again next September for the 2027 Broken Arrow Rose Festival.

Until then… enjoy those cooler fall walks in the Broken Arrow Rose District! 🍂🐕
