Does any on no of garden planning software for linux

I can't give you specific names, though garden design programs do exist.
We've been asked that question on uk.rec.gardening many times over the
years and the overall view seems to be that the 'back of an envelope'
method is preferred!

why do people think design of their gardens as if there were in a
helicopter? (ie two dimensional).

Japanese gardens designers in Japan (which are the best in the world by a
long chalk) find one or two places that are best to sit in to view the
garden and then design around those focal points.

The pruning of their trees is a sight to behold. They thin out willow trees
(amongst other trees) until they are beautiful wispy things. Never seen that
done here.
