Manufacturer's Description:

Whether you're starting with an empty plot or simply want to try out new planting ideas, Geoff Hamilton's 3D Garden Designer is the perfect tool. Start with a plan view, add patios, fencing and other structures, then use the handy Plant Filter and Encyclopedia to find plants to suit your garden.
As you're putting your designs together, you can experiment by moving plants and fixtures around the screen, scaling or rotating objects, or zooming in on borders to arrange your chosen flowers. Once you're happy with the design, view your garden in 3D to see how it will really look and check for year-round colour.
