Kensington Palace has shared photos of Kate Middleton in her garden at the Chelsea Flower Show.
The Duchess of Cambridge has been hard at work with the Royal Horticultural Society and Davies White, producing a plot for the prestigious event.
The mother-of-three is encouraging more children to spend time outdoors, and took to Instagram to share her thoughts.
“In recent years I have focused much of my work on the early years and how instrumental they are for outcomes later in life,” she writes. “I believe that spending time outdoors when we are young can play a role in laying the foundations for children to become happy, healthy adults.”
“What happens in our early years is vital to our being able to engage positively in school, and in work and society, and ultimately, to how we bring up our own children,” the royal says of the scientific research presented to her by the group.”
“The first few years of life, from conception to five, are pivotal for our future health, happiness, and ability to cope with adversity—and probably more so than at any other point of our lifetime. Understanding that our brain develops to 90 percent of its adult size within these first five years helps crystalize how our experiences in these earliest years are so impactful, and influences who we become as individuals.”
The Chelsea Flower Show runs from the 21st to the 25th of May.
