If someone has some software that would actually let you see a finished
garden the way it would look at maturity after designing it, I would
definitely buy it. The ones I have seen demonstrated leave much to be
desired. I don't know why someone can't design one that works like the
software realtors or architects use to demonstrate houses -- like a virtual
garden you can actually walk through at eye level. I would think that it
would have a fantastic market with all of the Home Depot-like companies,
greenhouses, landscape architects, garden centers, and do-it-yourselfers.
In fact, I found it to be much more cost effective to cut out templates
from paper and then use it to design on graph paper. The software on the
market seems to be a computerized version of my homemade paper templates,
with very small plant databases, and no way to tell what your garden will
end up actually looking like (i.e., no photographs of the actual plants to
play with, only an aerial viewpoint of the garden vs. a more practical
option to view the garden from eye level, etc. ).
If anyone knows of such software, I too would be very interested in knowing
about it.
