The Princess of Wales made a surprise appearance at the first day of the Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) Chelsea Flower Show, joining London school pupils for the annual event’s first Children’s Picnic.
Kate met youngsters from ten schools taking part in the RHS’s Campaign for School Gardening as they sat down to eat, before visiting three of this year’s show gardens with them. The Children’s Picnic, which is planned to be an annual event, was inspired by a conversation she had with the RHS in 2019 about involving more children in the show, following the success of her Back to Nature Garden .
Looking elegant in a pink dress by Me+Em, the mother of three sat on a picnic blanket with children from St Augustine’s Catholic Primary School in Hammersmith, asking: “Are any of you keen gardeners? Do you get the chance to plant things at school?
“What sort of things do you grow and then do you get to eat them? It’s so rewarding, isn’t it, when you see plants growing and then you have them on your plate.”
EXPERT KNOWLEDGE
The children discussed vegetables and herbs, and the Princess told them: “There’s a plant that smells like chocolate. I remember my granny showing me that when I was little. It has very dark leaves and you rub it and it smells like chocolate.”
Told that the pupils were growing sunflowers at school, she said: “They get so big, don’t they? [Her youngest child] Louis is growing broad beans at school. You put them in a cup and you can see the roots growing. They get big quickly, like sunflowers.”
