Duchess Kate designed a garden for the Chelsea Flower Show. But the best photos from the attraction are of George, 5, Charlotte, 4, and Louis, 1.

The Duchess of Cambridge designed a garden for the Chelsea Flower Show. But the best photos from the attraction aren't of the plants, but of her three children, George, 5, Charlotte, 4, and 1-year-old Louis.

Kensington Palace released pictures late Sunday of Duchess Kate and Prince William playing in the garden with their kids. News flash: Prince Louis isn't just walking – it looks like he's running. And he's having a fine time of it, as dad looks on.

Other shots show Prince George and Princess Charlotte dipping their bare toes into a stream that flows past the show garden.

The children got to explore, picking up moss and leaves and playing around the tree house.

And then there's that rope ball. There's a photo of Charlotte getting into the swing of it, her feet splendidly filthy.

Louis is understandably a bit less enthusiastic in a different pic, but Dad gives him encouragement.

The BBC says that in addition to the tree house, the garden space features a waterfall, rustic den (that teepee-like thing) and a campfire, as well as tree stumps, stepping stones and a hollow log for children to play on.

The BBC added that the duchess' woodland garden, co-created with landscape architects Andrée Davies and Adam White, is part of her efforts on early childhood development. It's meant to show the benefits the natural world bring to mental and physical well-being.
