We are sorting out our garden. Does anybody know of any software
whereby I could use a picture of our empty flowerbed and be able to
place pictures of flowers from a database? We could then place and
arrange exactly how it should look and then get and put in the palnts
for real. If there isn't such a thing there should be!

Three useful things concerning landscaping. First the scrubs and
trees can grow large so distance from you house etc matters. Foundation
planting can hide termites and other critters. Then depending on who
built your house contractors have been know to bury wood and lime when
they back fill. The latter being and issue of termites and possible
trouble for acid loving plants.

I prefer books and magazines.
