Rutgers Gardens Membership
Rutgers Gardens is an independent, non-profit organization supported by membership, donations, endowments and a group of dedicated volunteers. We are one of the few botanical gardens that do not have a visitor fee and are open 365 days a year. You are welcome to come as often as you like to enjoy our "living museum" with its large array of gardens and plant collections.
