Default pub quiz questions

My husband is compiling a quiz for his local pub and he has asked me
for some gardening questions, any questions and answers would be much
appreciated

He could put in a couple of plants' common names and ask what their
proper name is, or vice versa. And why was 'Capability' Brown so
called? Which architect was Gertrude Jekyll most closely associated
with? What charming - or not so charming - habit did Christopher Lloyd
have when visiting others' gardens (that should stump a few!) Which
way round a pole do runner beans twine? What is the name of Agatha
Christie's house and garden in Devon, newly open to the public?
