Andrews went to school at Rathnew, County Wicklow, Ireland, studied at the National Botanic Garden, Glasnevin where she graduated in 1973 with a First Class Honours in Amenity Horticulture and a Silver Medal awarded by the Irish Department of Horticulture. She continued her studies at J.Timm and Co. Pflanzen-Kolle and Johann Bruns Nurseries in Germany and then at the Hillier Arboretum and Nursery. She worked as a horticultural taxonomist at the Herbarium, Kew Gardens, from 1976,[6] initially in the Enquiry Unit, where members of the public could send in plants for identification, eventually becoming head of the Horticultural Taxonomy Unit.[7][8] In 2003 she left Kew becoming a full time freelance Consultant Horticultural Taxonomist in her own practise, and teaches courses on taxonomy for gardeners.[2]
Andrews has a long term taxonomic research project into Ilex of SE Asia and in cultivation as well as collaborating on Aquifoliaceae for Kubitzki's Families & Genera of Vascular Plants.[9]
Andrews was co-founder in 1988 and chairman (1988-1998) of (HORTAX), the Horticultural Taxonomy Group, a member of the editorial committee of Curtis's Botanical Magazine, the senior editor of Taxonomy of Cultivated Plants (1999), is an Honorary Research Associate at Kew, and sat on the ISHS Commission for Nomenclature and Registration.[2]
