Rutgers Gardens

Rutgers Gardens is a 180-acre botanic garden, consisting of designed gardens, farms, plant collections, natural habitats, and a farmers market. As part of Rutgers University, Rutgers Gardens provides experiential learning opportunities for undergraduate and graduate students. It serves as a living laboratory for faculty and staff to better serve plant science research, landscape architecture, and the nursery and public horticulture industry. Visitors are welcome to enjoy the gardens, plant collections, and natural areas year-round with no admission cost. Donations are welcome to help support the plants and maintenance of our gardens and natural areas, including Helyar Woods.
