Absolutely brilliant quiz – thanks so much for preparing it. I did reasonably well on the ‘name that gardener’ section but, whilst getting many of the names, not always matching the right name to the right photo!
All the best for a safe Christmas and New Year – looking forward to more next year.

Thank you Ian, glad you enjoyed it. It’s funny how we often know the answer but just can’t quite bring it to mind! Merry Xmas.
I got a grand total of 8! But as a beginner I have no complaints. The best part for me was comparing the answers with the original question or picture. I’m sure other knowledgeable folk will have found it all equally enjoyable. Thank you David.
Okay, 8 is not going to win any prizes, but then again, there are no prizes! Glad you enjoyed it. To be fair, it was for the more experienced and knowledgeable gardening fraternity and you stuck with it so well done!
