Description

The Botanical Garden of Uppsala University consists of a Baroque garden, the oldest orangery in Sweden still and continuously used for its original purpose, a tropical greenhose, an arboretum, a kitchen garden, various systematically or geographically arranged plantations of trees, shrubs, perennials, and annuals - together these collections enable the garden to represent plants from most regions of the world, diverse habitats as well as great biological diversity. Among the garden's "celebrities" are Linnaeus's own bay laurel trees and unique collections of African taxa (african violets, Cyclamen somalense, Aloe nugalense).
