Uppsala Botanical Gardens (Winter)

The view of the Botanical Gardens from the Uppsala Slott


The Botanical Garden we see today was originally the castle garden which was donated to the University by king Gustav III in 1787. Its predecessors were located elsewhere, founded in 1655 by Olof Rudbeck, but destroyed in the 1702 fire, and later the Linneaus Garden that Linnaeus began building in 1745.


However its winter... so no flowers, no leaves.. no nothing.. haha as seen in the picture below.. which used to be a flower.. i tink.. :p
