Duchess Kate at RHS Wisley

[ Edited ]

 

The Duchess of Cambridge looked pretty in a floral-patterned dress as she arrived to unveil a playground paradise inspired by her Chelsea Flower Show garden.


Kate will formally open the 'Back To Nature' garden at RHS Wisley in Surrey, the centrepiece of which is a giant wooden treehouse for youngsters to enjoy.

Kate was joined by celebrity chef Mary Berry.


The unlikely duo looked in high spirits as they were photographed hitching a ride on a tractor, alongside several other children.

Kate looks so pretty, so happy.

 

I wonder why they mention 'unlikely duo'?

The mother-of-three (pictured) paired her outfit, which featured a belt to cinch her in at the waist, with beige wedges and wore her glossy brown locks loose

The mother-of-three kept her makeup minimal for the occasion - and added just a subtle layer of blush to accentuate her cheekbones

Re: Duchess Kate at RHS Wisley

These photos reminds me so much of how she looked on the day she and William graduated.  Amazing she can so often look like no time as gone by at all.  One of the expressions on her face is just like the day in her cap and gown.  Kate is timeless.

Re: Duchess Kate at RHS Wisley

Kate, who has today unveiled the permanent Back to Nature garden she has designed for RHS Wisley, urged parents to embrace their "broader communities" for help in forming happy, healthy children.

 

The final Back to Nature space includes elements like the hollow log from Chelsea and the wildflower meadow and rolling hill showcased at Hampton Court.


New features include two connected tree houses and slides, which encourage families and friends to have fun together. It will become a permanent feature at Wisley.


Accompanied by Mary Berry, the cook and broadcaster, she spoke of her hopes that thousands of children would enjoy the garden, which includes trampolines, swings and treehouses.


In a speech to visitors at RHS Wisley, she said: "As a parent, I have learnt just how important it is to foster our children’s development, in all areas, not just physical, as soon as they are born.

 

"We build the blocks, the foundations, for future success and happiness later in their lives. These relationships, however, stretch far beyond the crucial one that a parent or carer has with its child.

 

"Like in the animal kingdom, whether a pod, a pack, or a pride, the interactions we have with the broader community – be it with our grandparent, teachers or neighbours – play a crucial role in the growth and learning of our young.

 

"There is a well-known proverb – that it takes a village to raise a child – everyone here represents an integral part of that very village.


"By coming together, having fun, learning and experiencing new things, we can all impart life-long benefits on our children."
