Cookman Avenue and Main Street
In 2015, a group of local merchants, many of whom maintain businesses on Cookman Avenue, joined forces, raised money, and engaged the APESTC to establsh a garden in a neglected green space at the corner of Cookman and Main Street. In a very short time, the trees, grasses, and flowering shrubs have transformed this overlooked lot into a kaleidoscope of color, fragrance and texture. It’s a wonderful spot to pause and relax before embarking on your next Asbury adventure. ESTC volunteer Ed Lacombe photographs this garden each week
