Kate Middleton Is Designing an Amazing Garden

Kate Middleton’s exhibit, called the “Back to Nature Garden,” will be shown at the 2019 RHS Chelsea Flower Show.

April showers will bring some Kate Middleton–chosen flowers.

Back in January, Kensington Palace announced that Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge, would design a garden for the 2019 Chelsea Flower Show in collaboration with the Royal Horticultural Society and landscape architects Andrée Davies and Adam White. The exhibit aims to show the impact nature has on physical and mental health—two of Middleton’s signature causes. It’s also not the first time a royal has lent their green thumb to the show. In 2002, Prince Charles codesigned a garden dedicated to the late queen mother.

Now, the Palace has released detailed plans for Middleton’s “Back to Nature Garden.” It’s supposed to mimic a magical woodland of sorts and includes a tree house, waterfall, bubbling stream, a “rustic den,” and a campfire. There’s also a cocoon chair hanging from a tree branch. “The garden is inspired by elements of the duchess’s childhood and by more recent memories with HRH’s own children,” read a statement.

Back in December, the Cambridges showed a glimpse of the bucolic family experience Kensington Palace spoke of. Their holiday card featured Prince William, Kate Middleton, and their three children at Anmer Hall, their country estate. They’re pictured sitting on a giant tree branch, the duke and duchess dressed down in jeans while George wears wellies and Charlotte, a navy blue cardigan.

And come the Chelsea Flower Show in May, everyone will get a slice of royal country life.
