Welcome reception in the Linnaean Gardens of Uppsala

On the 9th of September, we have the pleasure of welcoming all the participants of NORDROCS to a welcome reception in the Linnaean Gardens of Uppsala. The garden is an oasis hidden behind a planked fence on Svartbäcksgatan in central Uppsala. The Linnaeus Garden with the professor’s residence is the site of the first botanic garden. This is where Carolus Linnaeus made his observations on the transition of seasons and variation of nature amid blossoming flower beds, tight hedges, marshes, and ponds.

Approximately 1,000 species are grown in the garden following the Linnaean Sexual System.

Dinner at Uppsala Castle

On the 10th of September, we are proud to invite all our participants to dinner at Uppsala Castle. The dinners at the Castle are famous for their food, good service, and of course, the beautiful settings.

Uppsala Castle (Swedish: Uppsala slott) is a 16th-century royal castle in the city of Uppsala, Sweden. Throughout much of its early existence, the castle played a major role in the history of Sweden. Originally constructed in 1549 by King Gustav Vasa, the castle has been heavily remodeled, expanded, and otherwise modified. Today the structure houses the official residence of the governor of Uppsala County, various businesses, and two museums.
