it.

what is the best software for designing gardens

What the software won't give you is inspiration!
Decide what you want to use the space for, and use your mind's eye to
picture how you would like it to look when finished in as much detail as
possible.
If you plan sitting in the garden take a chair to the intended position and
look around - imagine yourself sitting in the garden when it is finished.
Where does the sun rise and set? Do you want to sit in the sun or the shade?
Will you be overlooked by neighbours and need screening in certain places.
Look around other peoples gardens, garden centres, watch gardening programs
(such as Dermot's and the new Tichmarsh series) etc - these can help give
you ideas.
When you can clearly imagine what you want, measure the plot out and sketch
out roughly with pencil and paper.
Works for me.
Don't just plunge in with bits here and there - you will end up with an
uncoordinated mess.
