The Linnaeus Garden in Uppsala, also known as Linnéträdgården, holds the distinction of being the first botanical garden in Sweden. It was named in honor of the renowned scientist Carl Linnaeus, who is credited with establishing the foundations of modern taxonomy. This garden serves as a testament to Linnaeus's significant contributions to the field of botany and offers visitors a glimpse into the rich history of botanical research in Sweden.
The Linnaeus Garden and Museum
The Linnaeus Garden operates under the administrative purview of the Botanical Garden of Uppsala University, functioning as a satellite garden. Located adjacent to the garden is the Linnaeus Museum, which is situated in the very house where Linnaeus resided from 1743 to 1778. This proximity allows visitors to explore both the garden and museum in a single visit, providing a comprehensive understanding of Linnaeus's life and work.
The Role and Accessibility of the Botanical Garden
The Botanical Garden, including the Linnaeus Garden, serves a dual purpose. It not only provides support plants for research and education at Uppsala University but also promotes public awareness about biodiversity. Each year, the garden plays a crucial role in the education of more than a thousand students in fields such as botany, pharmacology, horticulture, and ecology. Visitors can explore the gardens free of charge, although there may be fees for attending events and special exhibitions.
