garden software

Art,

I, too, recently searched for garden design software.  I ultimately
bought a $50.00 (w/ $20 rebate) copy of Sierra Complete LandDesign.  I
like it, I don't love it.  The newer release supposedly has some of the
problems addressed.  The "Complete" includes a garden encyclopedia, 3D
deck and Photo Land Design.  I also bought, on a whim, Expert Landscape
Design 3D, for $10 which isn't all that bad for the $$ (tho' I probably
wouldn't pay more).  Instead of going on about all the pros & cons here
I will direct you to some sites which helped in my decision:

Sierra: http://www.igarden.co.uk/listsw.htm  
They also have a message board you may want to peruse:
http://www.expertsoftware.com/landscape_design_3D.htm  it's a good site
to hear what users have to say about Sierra products.

Expert: http://www.expertsoftware.com/landscape_design_3D.htm

http://www.flowerscape.net/

Comparison site from Great Britain: http://www.igarden.co.uk/listsw.htm

You can also download a 30 day trial version of Landscape Illustrator at
the following site.  This is a professional software and costs between
$600 - $800 depending on package:  http://www.lsisoft.com/prod.html

hope this helps! Have fun!!
