To Visit Ak-Sar-Ben Gardens.
In the announcement column the
Askov Garden club announces trip
to the Ak-Sar-Ben garden near
Brainerd on Tuesday, September 2.
In this connection it might be well
to mention that those who have
visited the garden recently say that
it is well worth while to make the
trip. The club members and friends
plan to leave about 10 in the fore
noon and return by four in the after
noon. They will take their picnic
lunch along and enjoy that right at
the point of destination as there is
ample room provided there for just
such parties.
Vogt Brothers came from Omaha
several years ago and started this
garden (Ak-Sar-Ben, which Incl
dentally is Nebraska spelled back
ward) and the place has over the
years become widely known, both
as Ak-Sar-Ben and as 'The Tame
Fish Garden. The place is located
on small lake and both small and
large fish seem to appreciate the
feed they get from Vogt Brothers
and come in regularly for a bite to
eat. Beautiful flowers and elaborate
stone work predominant throughout
the garden.
