Although now part of a chain of garden centres this one can trace its past back to 1810 when the business was first started by George Jackman on a site very close to the present one. Known as Jackman's Nursery, it remained in the family until 1967 and kept its name until 1996. The second George Jackman (1837-1887) was an expert at hybridising Clematis, winning an RHS First Class certificate for Clematis Jackmanii.
