The Linnaeus Garden was the first botanical garden in Sweden founded in 1655 by Olof Rudbeck the elder. It is laid out in the French Style and restored following Linnaeus' and Carl Harleman's design from 1745. Today approximately 1300 species are grown here. All known to have been cultivated by Linnaeus and arranged according to his own system. The garden is open to public May–September.

For those who love plants, flowers and history, this is the place. We loved it! The garden is not huge, but it is lovely indeed. And the exhibition in the old house of Linnaeus is great as well.

The Botanical Garden is one of Uppsala's most popular destinations. Here, you can enjoy the grandiose Baroque Garden, visit the 200 year old Orangery with its beautiful grand halls or find inspiration for home gardening among rockery plants, vegetables, summer plants and in the systemic quarters of woody plants. The Tropical Greenhouse is home to Uppsala's only rainforest! For open hours in the glass houses see web page.

Kunskapsparken (The Knowledge Garden) is a demonstration facility for teaching and research at the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences (SLU) in Uppsala, but it is also a space for recreation and inspiration – open to all. In brief Kunskapsparken extends over 20,000 square metres and is part of the new campus at SLU in Uppsala. The character of the park varies in four main areas: The southern area is called Staden (the City) and adjoins the Logen restaurant at Ultuna. This area is characteristically strict, densely planted and shaded, with vegetation that blends into the urban environment. Staden leads to Trädgården, (the Garden), which is more open and less regimented. Here there are hedges and beds of perennial flowers. Adjoining Trädgården the visitor will find Ullbo Woodland Garden. Further north there is Odlingen (the plantation), which is an experimental area, comprising theOktavia pavilion. Also, you find 14 lawn grass species and a Rosarium with healthy and hardy roses that do not need so much tending.

A visit to this nice playground is a must if you have small children. No entrance fees and just a joy for our youngest. Inspired by the tales of the author Gösta Knutsson and his books about the cat Pelle Svanslös and his friends that lived in Uppsala and the surroundings.
