Why Linnaeus Garden matters
Carl Linnaeus, who gave us the system for naming plants and animals, once directed this garden. It has been restored with neat beds arranged by his classification, and an orangery houses delicate plants. Wander the symmetrical paths in summer, when everything blooms, and imagine students learning outdoors. It is a calm side trip from the cathedral and university.
Talking points
- Linnaeus developed the modern method of naming species.
- Beds follow his classification.
- An orangery shelters tender plants.
