Re: [GWL]: Mapping gardens

Carol Wallace asked about COMPLETE LAND DESIGNER garden planning software:

It's been 18 months since I tested the program, so my memory isn't the best.
This is what I wrote about it:

This two-CD package is a mega-suite of landscape software, from building
decks to creating a daily garden calendar for your yard.  You can use a
photograph of your home as the basis of the 3-D pictorial and plot the
house's
dimensions on the project grid, which prints out.  Video tours quickly
teach a user how to navigate the software and get the most out of a
multitude of features.  After vegetation is placed on a 3-D screen, it can
be automatically aged five, 10 or 15 years, giving you an instant look to
the future.  Layers of different plants can be placed in beds and gardens.
This was not possible with the other four software packages tested.  The
garden encyclopedia is an excellent plant primer, giving more than cultural
information.  It includes design principles, propagation and seed starting
techniques and much more.  A voice even correctly pronounces the botanical
name of each plant, when prompted.

I don't think any software is going to have an encyclopedia of plants that
will satisfy everyone.  When I reviewed these, I looked for ones that
covered the basics, went into regional differences and had a variety of
unusual plants.
