Abstract
Much has been written about Saxony's electors and their splendid baroque gardens surrounding the residence in Dresden. Every tourist visiting Dresden gets to know Augustus the Strong (1670–1733) and his passion for feasts, architecture and gardens, but just a few will blunder upon another important patron of gardening among the Saxon sovereigns: his great-grandson Frederick Augustus the Just (1750–1827) (figure 3.1).
