The RHS has created a series of short films in which young professionals in horticulture share what they love about their jobs and explain why their careers matter.
The films were made in response to a survey revealing that just 16% of pupils highlighted horticultural roles when discussing careers with their secondary schoolteachers.
The films, which will feature on social media and career websites and will be shared with schools and colleges, form part of an industry-wide campaign, Horticulture Matters, to raise the profile of careers in horticulture and help bridge a critical skills gap.
Attracting young people into the sector is key to this campaign.
