I am a garden designer and I don't believe that anyone can design their
own garden. If you DO, why are you a garden designer? :-)

I would never advocate that ANYONE design a garden using software. You
cannot beat years of experience, an eye for colour, texture, height,
season of growth or flower, size, shape, trunk colour, position of sun
in garden, soil type, shadows cast by buildings and trees, needs of
person who owns garden, realisation that the RHS is often WRONG...
During my years doing my job (and maintaining and renovating gardens) I
have met many people who seriously have not got a clue. And they are not
ashamed to admit it. And they don't have time to do anything about
learning. Or they don't want to. And why should they? That's my job. Why
should they fiddle about with a bit of software (and most of them are
not very good)?

Also, everybody knows that REAL designers use Macs. :-)
