NEW BRUNSWICK, NJ—The Environmental Protection Agency's last public report in 2010 found over 16 noxious chemicals and solids infecting the section of the Raritan River that borders New Brunswick.
Three of those chemicals–arsenic, benzopyrene, and the pesticide heptachlor epoxide–have the potential to affect the drinking water supply.
NORTH BRUNSWICK, NJ—If the Garden of Eden were in Middlesex County, it would be Rutgers Gardens, especially in blooming months.
Tucked snugly behind Route 1 and Ryders Lane, kissing the tranquil Weston Mill Pond, the unassuming 178-acre retreat is known to local nature lovers as a simple yet indispensable sanctuary of green peace and quiet reflection.
But with solid growing support from the community—young, old, and canine—Rutgers Gardens hosts more fruitful activity than ever.
