She was also filmed browsing through florists hand selecting beautiful flowers for table arrangements, showing off her creative side.
The Duchess even tried her hand at beekeeping, fully suited up, as she collected honey.
In the exciting new trailer, Meghan shared: "I've always loved taking something pretty ordinary and elevating it.
"Surprising people with moments that let them know I was really thinking of them.

"I'm going to share some little tips and tricks. I see what colour I gravitate to, and everything goes from there. And how you incorporate these practices every day.
"This is about connecting with friends.. I love that we're doing this together for the first time. Making new friends.. and just learning.

"We're not in the pursuit of perfection. We're in the pursuit of joy. I have to get it totally wrong, to get it totally right."
The trailer showcased many "candid" moments, from Meghan accidentally squeezing some lemon juice in her eye, to knocking freshly baked goodies off a plate.
Prince Harry featured at the end of the video, embracing his wife in a warm hug.
The pair laughed as they sipped some mimosas.
The show description reads: "This inspiring series, produced by Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, reimagines the genre of lifestyle programming, blending practical how-to’s and candid conversation with friends, new and old.

"Meghan shares personal tips and tricks, embracing playfulness over perfection and highlights how easy it can be to create beauty, even in the unexpected.
"She and her guests roll up their sleeves in the kitchen, the garden, and beyond, and invite you to do the same.
"Guests include Roy Choi, Mindy Kaling, Alice Waters, with additional acclaimed chefs and special friends."
The series is reportedly being made to complement her lifestyle brand American Riviera Orchard.
However, there has been little update on it, nor is there a release date in sight.
In a setback in September last year, officials pointed out the wording of her brand is a common nickname for Santa Barbara in California.
Further hitches included Meg and her team filling in the official forms incorrectly, and failing to send enough cash.
And their application wasn't even signed.
What has Meghan Markle teased from American Riviera Orchard so far?
MEGHAN Markle launched her brand's new Instagram page in March 2024, but no products are available to buy as of yet.
Industry insiders said the site will focus on home, food, garden and lifestyle goods.
Meghan kicked off promoting American Riviera Orchard by sending 50 branded jams to friends and influencers.
Those who received a package included Chrissy Teigen, Heather Dorak, Tracy Robbins and Kris Jenner.
She later unveiled two new products from her American Riviera Orchard brand just hours before Trooping the Colour.
Polo player and close friend of Prince Harry, Nacho Figueras was treated to a jar of raspberry jam from the collection as well as a jar of luxury dog biscuits for his pooch.
It comes as Meghan released a cryptic video welcoming in 2025.
The mum-of-two publicly marked the New Year as a fresh beginning in her life - and even signified the coming year is going to be all about her, experts have said.
In her first personal social media post for several years yesterday (New Year's Day), 43-year-old Meghan ran towards the sea on a large beach before slowing down to a walk to write "2025" in the sand with her finger.
Royal expert Ingrid Seward told The Sun that the Duchess wants to start the new year off on a "strong note" - separately from Prince Harry and their children Prince Archie, five, and Princess Lilibet, three.
"It's nothing to do with her and the children or her and Harry - it's just her,” she said. “I think it's all about Meghan.”

Meghan’s choice of an all-white outfit in the video cemented the notion that 2025 is a new beginning for her, according to fashion expert Amber Graafland.
And it was no coincidence she wore a white dress in her new Instagram profile picture to further hammer this message home.
“When it comes to orchestrating her image, Meghan is the master,” Amber tells.
“Running barefoot and make-up free down a beach towards the sea, her outfit was carefully selected to communicate a clear and important message.

“By opting to wear head-to-toe white, she was conveying that she wants to leave the past firmly behind her and start again.
“White not only represents new beginnings - it symbolises purity, innocence and neutrality.”
Meghan Markle is 'trying to be like Oprah Winfrey & Adele' with Netflix show & has 'sacked off Royal Family for good'
By Charlotte Bend
MEGHAN Markle's Netflix re-brand shows she has "sacked off the Royal Family for good" in a "bold" attempt to "be like Adele and Oprah", according to an expert.
It is now "all about Meghan" who has opted to leave out her royal title in the latest trailer.
Brand and culture expert, Nick Ede, told the Sun about how the Duchess of Sussex hopes to become recognisable by just her first name.
While this status has only been granted to "very few stars", Meghan could "potentially be one of them".
Describing the move as "bold", Nick believes it could be a good decision for Meghan as she attempts to win over new fans.
Defining herself in the lifestyle space "rather than as an ex member of the royal family" could be a "very positive step" for a turn in the right direction for the New Year.
Nick continued: "It'll be a brilliant way to build her brand identity and she could become the new Martha Stewart with the heavyweight of Netflix behind her.
"It's going to reveal to the world what Meghan loves, it shows that Meghan had a passion for food and cooking."
Glimpses of such joy have been hinted at through Meghan's charity cookbook and blog posts.
The show has been set to air on January 15 and "plays to Meghan's strengths".
Nick added: "If the show is a success then this will be the perfect way for her to launch a cookbook and the American Riviera Orchard Brand, which she has been testing for nearly a year.
"It's the best way for fans to see Meghan as she really is rather than causing controversy.
"With the use of the word joy, she's going to show the world what makes her feel full of joyfulness.
"She and Netflix will be wanting to make sure it does the same for fans and subscribers.
"She's a foodie and she loves to cook so creating a show about joy in the kitchen with new and old friends is perfect for her."
The exciting trailer offered a fresh take as Meghan spoke of wanting to "connect with friends".
Fellow Suits star, Abigail Spencer, known for her role as Dana Scott also made an appearance.
The nearly two minute long video provided a montage of Meghan cooking, arranging flowers, walking through vegetable patches and even beekeeping.
Prince Harry also featured in the trailer as Meghan can be seen smiling with friends.
Meghan shared: "I've always loved taking something pretty ordinary and elevating it.
"Surprising people with moments that let them know I was really thinking of them.
"I'm going to share some little tips and tricks. I see what colour I gravitate to, and everything goes from there. And how you incorporate these practices every day.
"This is about connecting with friends.. I love that we're doing this together for the first time. Making new friends.. and just learning.
"We're not in the pursuit of perfection. We're in the pursuit of joy. I have to get it totally wrong, to get it totally right."
Confirmed guests include Roy Choi, Mindy Kaling, Alice Waters, with additional acclaimed chefs and special friends.
The show description reads: "This inspiring series, produced by Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, reimagines the genre of lifestyle programming, blending practical how-to’s and candid conversation with friends, new and old."
The Sun has approached the Sussexes' representatives for comment.
