He personally grew and gave away fruit trees to poor worker families and attempted to breed silk worms and get others interested.

Høegh-Guldberg sat on the board of Princess Caroline's Asylum for Children and was active in Prince Ferdinand's Drawing School, the forebear to Aarhus Tech which he is considered the founder of.
