Although living in the city has its endless perks, I'm still a country girl at heart and love to reconnect with nature. Luckily, the surrounding areas of New York can cater to this quick fix, even if it's only for a day. So on a blazing Memorial Day (at least it seemed this way from the non-spring weather we've had), I ventured to Rutgers Gardens in New Brunswick, New Jersey. This beautiful space is free of charge and offers multitudes of relaxation from the gardens, to grassy knolls to trails within the forest. I could spend a whole weekend here at this urban escape;)
