Prior hortus situs erat loco maxime depresso et aedes demissae loco paludoso. Ego igitur a Rege Clementissimo petii, ut hortus arcis regiae academiae donaretur proque horto botanico instrueretur, quod et dudum factum est. (The ancient academical garden was situated in a very low ground, and the dwelling of the professor and the other buildings stood on a marshy soil. For this reason I entreated the King to grant the garden of the palace to the Academy of Upsal, and to have it converted into a botanical garden, which was done accordingly.)
We have for this reason resolved, not only to defray the expense attending the establishment of a new botanical garden out of our own private resources; but also to add a grant of the ground of the pleasure-garden near the castle; besides 31,360 square yards of ground to the westward.

Under grundstenen lades en koppardosa innehållande alla då gångbara mynt samt medaljer slagna över Konungen, kronprinsen och Carl von Linné för att ytterligare befästa Linnés odödlighet. (Then he himself laid the foundation stone for the new conservatory building, while 128 cannon were fired from Castle Hill. Inside the foundation stone was placed a copper box containing all the current coins and medals representing the king, the crown prince and Carl Linnaeus, to further consolidate Linnaeus's immortality.)
Ett levande lejon som kungen skänkt till Akademin ankom i oktober 1802. Lejonet blev inlogerat i ett av rummen på bottenvåningen. (One live lion, a gift from the king to the Academy, arrived in October 1802. The lion was lodged in one of the rooms on the ground floor [of the Orangeriet].)
