Chris Garnons-Williams of IVYDENE HORTICULTURAL SERVICES designs, constructs and maintains private gardens. He can also teach you how to garden or advise you what to do in your own garden.

A businessman stated that his company was responsible for the IT system that Noah used in getting the animals onto his ark in a 1 minute speech at a Business Network International breakfast meeting. I responded the following week, that Ivydene Horticultural Services had provided these instructions to the animals from Genesis Chapters 8 and 9 using his IT System:-

I

Every
Sabbath ( of the seventh month, when the ark shall come to rest on the mountains of Ararat ).

Unfortunately, it came to pass that the Welsh (my forebears) banned alcohol on the Sabbath, so I have had to change the message sent by his IT System to the following:-
