The garden at Andrews Corner, Skaigh Lane, Belstone EX20 1RD will be open from 2pm to 5pm Sunday 7th and Sunday 21st April. Admission £5 children free.
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.
Our April openings at Andrews Corner highlight magnolias, trillium and the wonderful erythroniums (dog’s tooth violets). There will be plant sales – particularly erythroniums – with homemade cakes and cream teas, for all the family to enjoy. Dogs on leads are welcome. Ample parking is available in a nearby field, well signed.
The National Garden Scheme was set up in 1927 to raise funds for district nurses and in that year 609 private gardens opened to the public, charging one shilling for admission and raised some £8,000. Today the NGS remains strongly committed to nursing charities with beneficiaries including Macmillan Cancer Support, Marie Curie, Hospice UK and The Queens Nursing Institute. Last year the scheme donated £3,403,960, helping provide critical support to nursing and health charities.
