# Jilayne Rickards Garden and Landscape Design
Jilayne Rickards is a Chelsea Flower Show gold medal-winning garden designer based in Tintagel, Cornwall, delivering bespoke landscape and garden design across the county. With credentials as a registered member of the Society of Garden Designers and an accredited designer with the British Association of Landscape Industries, Rickards specialises in creating distinctive gardens that prioritise sustainability and environmental responsibility.
The practice serves homeowners, estates and charitable organisations throughout Cornwall, from Penzance to Padstow, designing everything from country gardens and woodland spaces to tranquil residential landscapes. What distinguishes Rickards' approach is an unwavering commitment to ecological benefit alongside aesthetic excellence. Every design incorporates naturalistic planting schemes that increase biodiversity and support wildlife, whilst thoughtfully integrating reclaimed, recycled and locally-sourced materials that age gracefully within their landscape context.
Rather than applying formulaic solutions, Rickards conducts thorough site analysis to ensure each garden is entirely original and tailored to its specific location and client requirements. This philosophy extends to collaborative partnerships with sustainable construction specialists like Living Landscapes, reinforcing the studio's credentials as an environmentally conscious practice. The designer's involvement with Project Giving Back—funding gardens for charitable causes at RHS Chelsea—further demonstrates a commitment to using design for broader social good. Each garden becomes a bespoke creation that balances human enjoyment with genuine landscape enhancement.
