The University of Uppsala Botanical Garden in Uppsala, Sweden, is a historic and expansive garden that dates back to the 17th century. Originally established by Olof Rudbeck in 1655, it was later relocated and expanded under the guidance of Carl Linnaeus, the renowned botanist. The garden is home to a diverse collection of plants from various climates and regions, including tropical, subtropical, and temperate zones. It features beautifully landscaped areas such as the Baroque Garden, the Linnaean Garden, and modern greenhouses. The garden serves both as a research facility and a public attraction, offering educational programs, guided tours, and seasonal events.
