Situated on the northern edge of Dartmoor at approximately one thousand feet above sea level, Andrews Corner derives its unique character from the contrast between the rugged grandeur of the open moor and the verdant serenity of a cultivated garden.
There are a very wide range of unusual trees, shrubs and herbaceous plants, for year round effect – including a snowdrop collection, alpines, rhododendrons, bulbs, and maples which provide spectacular autumn colour.
Woodland plants, including erythroniums, arisaemas, ferns and many spring bulbs, are at their best in April and May – followed on by the beautiful blue Meconopsis and irises. Heathers, alpine beds, dry stone walls, herbaceous borders and gentians add to the mix and extend the season of interest through to the autumn.
In our designing, we have used the different levels to create smaller gardens, with their own particular features and micro climates, separated by trees and rhododendrons, while still allowing glimpses of the stunning Taw valley, northern slopes of Cosdon, and the granite-strewn tors of the Belstone Ridge.
Included within the garden are a kitchen garden, a pond, two greenhouses, willow structures and chickens. A range of wilder areas also provide habitat for grass snakes, slow worms, rabbits, deer and over forty bird species, among others.
Highly regarded, for many years, as a plantsman’s garden, this is also truly a garden for all ages – with quiz sheets, fairy doors and a children’s playhouse adding to the experience for our younger visitors.
