‘The Duchess’s Back to Nature garden in 2019 aimed to highlight the physical and mental health benefits of the natural world and inspire children, families, and communities to enjoy the great outdoors.’

The project was heavily influenced by the duchess’ passion to promote the importance of children’s early experiences in their development – so it’s no surprise she had help from her little ones.

George, Charlotte and Louis gave her a hand, helping gather moss, leaves and twigs to help decorate the garden and build a den.

She said in an interview with gardener Monty Don for the BBC at the time, "I really feel that nature and being interactive outdoors has huge benefits on our physical and mental wellbeing, particularly for young children.

"I really hope that this woodland that we have created inspires families, kids and communities to get outside, enjoy nature and the outdoors, and spend quality time together."
