Andrews Corner Snowdrop Sunday

Situated at about 1,000 feet on the northern slopes of Dartmoor, in the village of Belstone, lies the garden at Andrews Corner. Created over the last 50 years by the Hill family, the garden has matured from essentially a 70’s garden of island beds with heathers, dwarf conifers and maples, to a semi-woodland garden filled with unusual trees, shrubs and bulbous plants.

The garden open season starts each year in February, when it is opened for the Children’s Hospice South West, for ‘Snowdrop Sunday’, which is on Sunday 16 February 2025. The garden has many areas of snowdrops, both common and the more unusual, with about 100 different cultivars spread around the garden.

The garden will be open from 11am to 4pm with sales of snowdrops, CHSW goods, as well as hot soup, cheese scones, bacon baps, hot drinks and cakes. Indoor space is available for those who prefer to view the garden or consume refreshments in relative warmth.

At this time, as well as the snowdrops, you will see early crocus, dwarf daffodils and hellebores, along with the intoxicating scent of Daphne bholua Jacqueline Postill. Views across the Skaigh Valley to Dartmoor help create a wonderful backdrop to this peaceful garden. Well signed with parking in a nearby field. Dogs welcome.
