Gardens and Landscaping
Definitely do not buy. The tool tips all came up in German! None of it worked correctly. The wizard options for getting started were very limited. It was very hard to even get a basic house plan in. Did not work to define plant/plot area. Words/headings all spelled wrong. Looked a group of 3rd graders developed this program.

Save your money
Don't waste your money on this program. For a program that looked like it had great potential, I was very disappointed. There is a very extensive plant glossary, but you better know Latin to use it. All the plants are listed by the Latin name. Also, in order to put plants into your garden layout, there must be a 3-D view of that particular plant/flower. You'd think you would be able to do that from the name of the program. Well, there is such a small percentage of plants with 3-D views, that I just gave up trying to use the program. One good thing about the plant glossary if you can figure out all the Latin, is that you can choose plants by color, height, blooming time, etc. That's about the only good thing about the program. I'm sure there are better programs out there. I would not recommend this to anyone. ... Read more

Burpee Garden Designer
This title has minimum value. It seems to limit the choices to "Burpee" products only as indicated by it's order form section (which includes current prices and may be outdated in the future). The 3D views are poor. It does have some good information on plants both flower and vegetable but that is available in many places. ... Read more
