Excerpt:
The Linnaeus´ Garden is a reconstruction of Uppsala University Botanical Garden the way it looked during Linnaeus´ days.
Annotation:
The Uppsala University Botanical Garden, planted in 1653, is the oldest botanical garden in Sweden. In 1741, Carl Linnaeus was appointed professor of medicine at the University, and became responsible for what had become a run down garden. Linneaus' studies in the garden helped him to develop a system of nature for which he became famous. It was through the influence of Linnaeus that the garden developed into one of the foremost of its time. This website includes a brief history of the garden, information about seeing the garden and events at the garden, and a map accompanied by brief descriptions of various locations.
