Catherine, Princess of Wales visited a wellbeing garden at Colchester Hospital on Wednesday, marking her first public appearance since she unexpectedly dropped out of an appearance at Royal Ascot two weeks ago.

Also during her visit, Kate took a moment to serve in the hospital’s Royal Horticultural Society Wellbeing Garden, which offers respite to patients, visitors and others. Kate planted several Catherine’s Rose plants in the garden, a rose the hospital named after the princess.

Kate—dressed in a striped tan blazer, coordinating striped Ralph Lauren button-up and brown trousers with Veja sneakers—also got to work in the hospital's RHS Wellbeing Garden despite the rain, planting some very personal flowers in the process.
