Price Promise and Quality Guarantee
Every plant purchase from us benefits from our price promise and quality guarantee:
Whatever you're buying from us, we want to make your experience with us as pleasant as possible. In order to achieve this, we've put together a satisfaction guarantee which covers two areas - our price promise and our quality guarantee.
At Jacksons, we're convinced that you won't find better quality plants at a lower price anywhere else. In fact, we're so sure of this that if you find another garden centre offering you a better deal than us, we'll refund you the difference. If you think you've found someone selling plants of a similar quality to ours, and at a lower price, let us know at sales@jacksonsnurseries.co.uk.
As well as offering you great prices, we're also obsessed with the quality of our goods. It's for this reason that we offer a 12 month guarantee on every plant that you buy from us that we have classified as Fully Hardy. If a plant you've bought from us fails in the first year, we will either replace it or refund you, providing that:
- You care for the plant correctly and follow all of the guidelines included in our care instructions (supplied with every plant you buy from us). In particular, plants will not be replaced due to lack of watering or lack of horticultural care or if cats or dogs have been allowed to fowl the soil around the plant.
- The temperature, at any time during the 12 months guarantee period, have not dropped below the hardiness range of the plant. The Royal Horticultural Society classification is interpreted as follows: Fully hardy: can withstand temperatures down to -15°C (5°F)

Legacy of Green Thumbs and Family Values
Jacksons Nurseries is a family run business established over 60 years. Originally started as a hobby on a field in Baddley Green by Peter Jackson and ‘Uncle Joe’ in the 1950’s, the nursery moved in the 1960’s to the ground off Old Mill Lane in Bagnall. In 1967, Peter and Barbara Jackson purchased ‘Lawn Farm’ where the nursery continued to develop, selling mainly to other nurseryman and local people.
All plants were produced using traditional nursery, open ground growing techniques. Whilst working ‘all hours’ Peter, with considerable help from his friend David Jones, developed the business to a stage in the 1970’s where he employed Ray Evans full time to help and later in the early 1980’s Derek Berrisford. Peter resigned from teaching in 1985 and in 1986 his son Roger joined the company full time.
BY 1988 production techniques included a wide range of container produced plants and a selling area was developed next to the farm. As the business grew, land that in the 1970’s had been used to grow roses was brought into container grown plant production. By the early 1990’s plant began to be sold from the container plant growing area.
Roger’s son Luke grew up working in the business and after a stint working in finance in the city took the reins full time in 2024. The nursery is now one of North Staffordshire’s largest producers of hardy nursery stock supplying many local authorities, city, borough, county councils and landscapers.
‘Home grown’ plants are complimented by sundries needed to develop the full potential of your garden and specialist architectural topiary from Europe. Our long established family business remains totally committed to the principle that buying direct from a local grower, from people that understand plants and give good customer service ensures a hardy plant that offers best value for money.

At Peak Wildlife Park, all of these animal experiences are possible in an interactive wildlife park where the animals are nearly as free to roam as you are!
The park was opened with a vision to not only provide entertainment but also to emphasize the importance of conservation, education, and sustainability. The focus would be to offer visitors the chance to witness rare and endangered species up close while learning about the challenges these animals face in the wild.
