It’s all about nature! Kate Middleton took to the great outdoors for her first royal engagement of 2019. On Tuesday, January 15, the Duchess of Cambridge paid a visit to the Islington Community Garden. During her engagement, Kate explored how the project brings the community together through planting food and flowers.
Never one to pass up an opportunity to explore the outdoors, the mother-of-three participated in a round of fun activities that saw her visiting bees, building birdhouses and having an outdoor pizza party. The special engagement comes after it was announced that Prince William’s wife will showcase the “Back to Nature” garden at this year’s Chelsea Flower Show.
“Based on Woodland,” the ‘Back to Nature’ garden seeks to recapture for adults the sense of wonder and magic that they enjoyed as children,” Kensington Palace confirmed. “In addition to kindling excitement and a passion for nature in future generations.” Scroll ahead to see more from Kate’s fun day out.
Outdoor Wear
Kate dressed for the occasion – going for a chic outdoor look. The Duchess wore a tweed jacket from Dubarry Bracken which she paired with khaki pants and a pair of brown hiking boots. Always ready for her close up – the mother-of-three put her outfit on display during introductions.
The great outdoors
Kate’s garden will highlight the benefits of getting “back to nature.” The Duchess is partnering with landscape architect Davies White to design and build the 2019 RHS Garden.
Very important people
Kate met with volunteers (big and small) who work at the community garden, planting, providing materials and giving it a continued sense of community.
