Collaboration
The Linnaean Gardens collaborate with a range of other associations and organisations. We are members of a range of networks for gardens, museums and Linnaean heritage organisations. In the organisation of special events, we work together with many different groups.
Uppsala Municipality
Uppsala Municipality contributes to the running costs of the Linnaean Gardens. The aim of the collaboration between the University and the Municipality is to preserve the heritage of Linnaeus and Thunberg, and at the same time develop the Linnaean Gardens of Uppsala into attractive and well-visited environments. The gardens should be perceived as the outdoor living rooms of Uppsala’s residents, as well as natural destinatiuons for tourists and other visitors.
National Property Board
Linnaeus’ Hammarby, The Linnaeus Garden and the Botanical Garden are owned by the Swedish State and managed by the National Property Board (Statens Fastighetsverk, SFV). They are responsible for maintaining the buildings and architectural components, while Uppsala University is responsible for the activities in the gardens and buildings.

We also have two friend associations that support our work - Linnés Vänner and Sällskapet Linnés Hammarby. The Swedish Linnaeus Society protects the heritage of Linnaeus throughout the country.

Support the work of The Linnaean Gardens
The Uppsala Linnaean Gardens are important places of cultural heritage and visitor destinations in Uppsala. We preserve the heritage after Carl Linnaeus, his successor Carl Peter Thunberg and their scientific work. The plants we grow reflect a historical cultural heritage, current ongoing research and the diversity of the plant kingdom. Our plants are there for the joy and benefit of scientists, students, schools, preschools, but also the plant interested general public.
The Uppsala Linnaean Gardens are run by Uppsala University with support from Uppsala Municipality. Entrance fees and donations contribute to the development and preservation of the gardens for future generations.
If you as a private person want to support us and/or get involved in what we do, you can become a member in one of our friends' organisations. You can also support us by for example adopting one of our plants.
