 Arvest Bank and the Walton Family Foundation donated a truckload of redbuds and whitebuds to the Broken Arrow Beautification Committee to be planted this spring with another planting this fall. The donation was $7,500 and Sanders Nursery supplied the trees. 50 Redbuds will be planted now in groves in Veterans, Jackson, Central and Arrowhead parks. Pictured are Betsy Gerber, operation manager of Arvest Bank with Chris Ohler, horticulturalist for the City of Broken Arrow. All the trees were about ten feet tall.
