Educational sessions in The Linnaean Gardens
In the Linnaean Gardens of Uppsala – the Botanical Garden, the Linnaeus Garden and Linnaeus' Hammarby – we offer lessons for all ages. Our aim is to evoke curiosity about nature and to make the students understand the relationship between organisms. The lessons suit students from preschool to high school and collage level.
