We did not inherit the earth from our grandparents. We’re borrowing it from our children.
Why not buy from me? I have over 2400 gardening questions, which I use when supplying a couple of gardening and horticultural society their quiz needs. I am a seasoned writer that has in the past been engaged by various media companies for their quiz material on a whole range of subjects.
It was not my intention to upset anybody. I was just responding to a member looking for good gardening questions with verified answers. I do not have a website to promote, I'm just a freelance writer for the media. I'm a keen gardener of many years standing and have written questions for many TV shows, which include The Weakest Link, Telly Addicts and Garden Invaders. Also, some of my clients are well-known horticultural societies and gardening clubs, who use my services because many questions on the internet, including gardening questions, are unfortunately repetitive and not always correct. I'm merely offering an alternative to seriously minded quiz people.
