The Duchess of Cambridge helped design a "Garden Back to Nature" for the Chelsea Flower Show.
Kate designed the Wild Forest Garden in collaboration with landscape architects Andree Davies and Adam White and the Royal Horticultural Society.
Kensington Palace said in a statement today that the garden will help "inspire families to go out and explore nature together".

"The garden hopes to spark memories of time spent in nature and encourage others to go out and create new outdoor experiences."
The centerpiece of the garden will be a high-pitched treehouse, covered with deer-horned oak that is inspired by a bird's nest or animal's nest.

It will also include a swing, a rustic den and a campfire, as well as stumps, stepping stones and a hollow log on which children can play.
Interaction with the natural environment will be encouraged by the "multisensory" plant program, green and blue.
The design also includes "incredible edibles", plants for craft activities, "forest scents" and a range of plants, shrubs and trees of varying heights and textures.
A waterfall and stream will give kids an opportunity to paddle and play when the show opens in May.
