Carl Linnaeus the Man and his Gardens talk by Cherrill Sands

Carl Linnaeus, Swedish botanist and physician, is known for devising
the binomial plant classification, but in this talk the emphasis will
be on the man as a gardener, a traveller and a teacher who inspired
his students to travel the world. At the botanic garden in Uppsala
over 3,000 plant species were grown in different environments. At
Hammarby, his farm and summer retreat, a variety of plants were grown
and a small ‘museum in the air’ was built for his books and
collections of the natural world.
