Add a dash of colour to 2007 and celebrate the 300th birthday of Carl Linnaeus, King of the Plants, in the verdant gardens of West Sweden. Linnaeus is the 18th century genius who invented the scientific classification system for plants, animals and minerals and the beautiful region he toured in 1746 will blossom with an array of exhibitions, garden shows and activities.
Celebrate the King of Plants at the great gardens of West Sweden this summer - including the award winning A Tribute to Linnaeus garden in Gothenburg
An array of events, exhibitions and shows are taking place in Gothenburg and across West Sweden to celebrate this special year.
Linnaeus had a healthy appetite for the natural world and improving our knowledge about it.
Some of West Sweden’s finest gardens are being showcased during the Linnaeus celebrations. This is the perfect time to see the marriage of natural beauty and horticultural handiwork in some great gardens.
