He redesigned the mountain garden from a geometrically laid out baroque kitchen garden to a landscaped garden with planting areas modeled on nature. With plants and seeds that Georg III. from London, he started a royal nursery. The trees and trees that were grown were given away to towns and communities, landowners and foresters, and from 1780 they were also sold.
