Just six weeks after her “Back to Nature”-themed space debuted at the Chelsea Flower Show in May, Kate Middleton is already getting her hands dirty again. The Duchess of Cambridge stepped out to unveil the new and improved space, which was actually moved to a site at Hampton Court Palace’s Garden Festival, on Monday, July 1.

The 37-year-old beauty hosted children from some of her charities and patronages, including the Anna Freud Centre, Evelina Children’s Hospital, Action for Children and Place2Be, for the London event. The upgraded space — which is twice the size of the plot of the original — is a collaboration with the Royal Horticultural Society and was created in hopes that it would inspire kids to play and enjoy the outdoors.

Kate’s garden “highlights how time spent in natural environments can help build the foundations for positive physical and mental wellbeing that last through childhood and over a lifetime,” Kensington Palace said in a statement on behalf of Prince William‘s wife.

At the garden festival, children from some of Kate’s charities and patronages got to experience the delights of her new and expanded garden. The children were spotted joining Kate in a treasure hunt and even hunting for insects. The gorgeous duchess then hosted a picnic at the center of the garden. Aww!

For the event, Kate donned a green mid-length dress designed by Sandro. The casual ensemble was adorned with a white checkered-like design. The brunette beauty also paired the look together with cute, beige strappy wedges. So chic!

The latest garden setup — which Kate designed with experts Andrée Davies and Adam White — is said to include a ton of exciting amenities, Express U.K. reported. According to the outlet, the duchess’ space includes a pond to swim, a hill to run down and a bee-friendly meadow with tall grasses and flowers where children can play hide-and-seek.

Sounds like so much fun!

It’s no surprise Kate is a huge supporter of outdoor playtime. Ahead of the RHS Chelsea Flower Show, the mom of three opened up about the importance of getting outside. “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 said in a statement at the time. “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.”

Considering Kate’s kiddos — Prince George, 5, Princess Charlotte, 4, and Prince Louis, 1 — were given a private sneak peek into the “Back to Nature”-themed space at the Chelsea Flower Show, we wonder if we’ll get the chance to see them playing around at their mom’s new creation! It looks like we’ll have to stay tuned.
