Rutgers Gardens N.J. Photography Location

Ryders Lane, New Brunswick, N.J.

Rutgers Gardens is a great place to shoot frogs, dragonflies, flowers, buildings, bees, and even hummingbirds. Please tell all the frogs in the frog pond we said hello. That’s Ribert pictured above. We have gone here often and become attached to all six frogs in the pond. We have even named them all. There are flowers galore here and a beautiful pine tree area used for weddings. There is a fee to rent for weddings of $125.00.

In front of the park, behind the main building, is a stream with a bamboo forest. It has a few zen bridges that go over it.  There is a gazebo, and behind it is a small waterfall for some milky waters and long exposure photography.

In the back of Rutgers Gardens is a series of gardens, trees, and flowers. The historic Log Cabin and Pavilion in the Gardens has a country, rustic feeling, and a view of Weston Mills pond as a scenic backdrop.

Cook College Campus is the Farm 1/4 mile south on Route One on your right. It’s the first exit. Visit a working farm and photograph some real animals.

That is a rare photo of Pamela Goodyer sitting on the big chair, teaching a photography class here.
