The 2014 RHS Chelsea Flower Show will give a number of young people the prospect of a big break in their horticultural careers.

Many gardens at the show (ponsored by M&G Investments) are being designed by new, up-and-coming talent, and many other exhibitors will be giving young people the opportunity to learn from and be a part of the world-class event.

Hugo Bugg (26), will be designing a Chelsea show garden for the first time, for Royal Bank of Canada. The RBC’s ‘Waterscape Garden - Embrace the Rain’ has been designed to illustrate global water issues, whilst demonstrating practical water management solutions for the home gardener. Hugo was named RHS Young Designer of the Year in 2010, when he designed a gold medal-winning garden at RHS Flower Show Tatton Park.

Brothers Harry and David Rich, (26 and 23), are designing a garden for Bord Na Mona. It’s their first show garden, although they did design an artisan garden at the 2013 show. Designed for Beechwood College in Cardiff, the garden takes its inspiration from the constellations and will be a naturalistic, calm environment where the children can learn about both land and space.

Inspired by the personal experience of his brother's tours to Afghanistan with the armed forces, Matt Keightley (29) will also be designing his first show garden. ‘Hope on the Horizon’, for servicemen's charity Help for Heroes, represents the complex and progressive path towards recovery experienced by wounded, injured and sick personnel.

Apprentices will be helping to build a number of show gardens, including The Homebase Garden - Time to Reflect, designed by Adam Frost. Part of Homebase's Garden Academy Scheme, the apprentices will have completed 10 month's of training, including days with experts at RHS Garden Wisley, Surrey, before coming on site to assist Adam in creating the garden. Apprentices enrolled on the RHS apprenticeship scheme at RHS Garden Wisley will also be on site to help build spectacular gardens. Nick Drury and Daniel Vaughan, who started their apprenticeships at RHS Garden Wisley in July 2013, will be supporting the team from Crocus to build Show Gardens for The Telegraph and Laurent-Perrier.

Elsewhere in the showground, students and young people are being given the opportunity to develop practical skills and learn about the diversity of career opportunities within horticulture. In the Great Pavilion, students from schools and horticultural colleges will be helping to create some of the spectacular floral displays, including those for Hillier Nurseries, Birmingham City Council, UK Horticulture and Scotts Miracle-Gro.
