To celebrate the talent and world class skills of young people across the nation, UK Skills is to create a garden at the RHS Chelsea Flower Show, taking place from 25th - 29th May 2010.
The UK Skills garden, entitled: "Growing World Class Talent: celebrating the workforce of tomorrow", will be created to promote excellence in vocational education and training and also to illustrate how greater investment in skills and development will help lift UK industry out of recession. The garden's design was chosen on merit by the RHS for inclusion in this year's Chelsea Flower Show and will showcase the wide range of skills required to construct an outdoor space suitable for 21st century living. The garden will be judged in the Urban Garden category at the Show.
A team of talented young people, all under the age of 25, will build the UK Skills garden from scratch using their expert skills, which include: landscape gardening, bricklaying, electrical installation, cabinetmaking, plumbing, floristry and stonemasonry. All the skills represented in the Chelsea garden are also present at the biennial WorldSkills Competition, the world's largest international skills competition for young people.
The team creating the UK Skills garden will comprise of past UK WorldSkills Competitiors as well as upcoming, talented individuals who are looking to secure a place in Team UK for the next WorldSkills Competition, which comes to London from 5th - 8th October 2011.
