Relax, shop and celebrate in The Linnaeus Garden
Relax, shop & celebrate
The Linnaeus Garden is the place to find peace and silence in the middle of the busy town centre. The garden and the directors lodge are gems to all garden lovers as well as historians.
Due to the building of new visitor center there will be neither a museum shop or otudoor seating area in the garden in the end of the summer of 2023. There are many nice coffehouses and restaurants in the blocks surrounding the garden, though.
The orangery is the perfect venue for private or business events in a historic environment.

Flowery gifts and Linnaeus' writings
In the museum shop of the Linnaeus Garden you will will find cards, posters and gifts with motifs from Olof Rudbeck’s and Carl Linnaeus’s days as well as works of contemporary Swedish botanical illustrators. We provide seeds, insect houses, and much more if you want to increase the biodiversity in your garden. In the Linnaeus Garden shop, we stock literature about Carl Linnaeus and his science.
The shop in the Linnaeus Garden is temporarily closed due to rebuilding. It will hopefully open in September 2023, and will be open during the normal opening hours of the Garden.
