Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis helped their mom, the duchess, gather moss, leaves and twigs to help decorate the garden, according to the palace. Hazel sticks collected by the family were also used to make the garden’s den.

A photo of Louis joyfully playing with a stick while running towards the camera stole the show.

Among the flowers spotted in the garden are forget-me-nots. The small blue flowers, which were a favorite of Princess Diana, her late mother-in-law, may be a tribute to Diana's influence and legacy.

“I really feel that nature and being interactive outdoors has huge benefits on our physical and mental well-being, particularly for young children,\" the duchess said in an interview with the BCC for the garden's unveiling. \"I really hope that this woodland that we have created really inspires families, kids and communities to get outside, enjoy nature and the outdoors, and spend quality time together.”
