Speaking to Express.co.uk, Adam said of Kate's garden: “It was lovely.
"I think Kate's lovely anyway. She generally cares about gardens and she genuinely cares about people.”
He continued: “I thought the garden was lovely and she [Kate] will get out there and garden.
“For someone like me to have people like that who think gardening is important is brilliant because it brings it to more people.
“Gardening is sometimes looked upon as not necessarily cool and when someone that high in the Royal Family is involved like Kate you can have a few people going actually maybe I can have a go at that or maybe I should get my kids doing it."
Kate’s garden at the annual Royal Horticultural Society show was part of her mission to get British children outdoors and give them the best possible start in life.
Adam also dished on other members of the Royal Family he has encountered over the years.
He said: “I was lucky enough to interview Prince Charles about gardens and it was the same thing really.
