At Linné´s Råshult is a project going on, since some years, to restore the landscapeas it looks like when Linné lived there with small-scaled fields, forest and meadow land. On the stony fields, are cultivated old types of barleys , oat and rye. Another important crop is the flax. Now a days the meadow land is asserted on a traditional way and is restored graduallyto reach its ancient extent.Step by step is the fence in wood rebuilting. In the area, you can find plants as March gentian, Lousewort, Common milkwort, Arnica montana,Viper's-grass and Heath Spotted-orchid.

Linnés birth place Råshults Södregård

Linnés Råshult is open for visitors but is also organic agriculturewhere the meadows will produce winter fodder to the animals. That´s why it is important to follow the paths and not tread in the meadows so it can be broken.
