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. :-)

If you look closely you can buy the mentioned software for just
$19,95...........I wonder if the designs are based on the Australian
climate...........
