Today I went to visit a near family member in the Academic Hospital in my region capital Uppsala!
I had a couple of spare hours and my camera ready to explore the early spring progress in the city's fantastic Uppsala Botanical Garden!
The garden was founded 1655 by Professor Olov Rudbeck (Rudbeckia-Echinacea) for his students to study Botany and Pharmacy.
At 1741 Professor Carl Linneaus (later Carl von Linne & founder of the latin system) was in charge of the garden and after him Carl Peter Thunberg.
You can feel the history walking around these gardens.
Please enjoy them with me:
