Customer Reviews

Very Disappointing
I think I've given this my best shot but it doesn't come up to the mark. Clumsy to use overall. Picking plants takes ages because of the interface; and almost all of the plants I wanted - which are common in the UK - don't appear in the plant selection which is US based.
The final crunch was the problem it creates with user accounts. The software won't run in a limited user account but that doesn't stop windows installer trying it's best and slowing everything down to a crawl while it attempts the installation process. I'm told it's a problem with the software and would need a re-write to get round. Not my best purchase.

Very disappointing
A fairly complex program, and after spending considerable time learning how to draw a garden plan, I am giving up and returning to the free BBC designer on-line. The plants are described in American common names which makes this program difficult to use, and many European plants are not available at all.

Problems, problems, problems
This program did work on my computer - at least theoretically. It would be very difficult to plan your garden using this "aid". It's not easy to dimension and virtually impossible to select plants - even if you know their names. I'm using Windows XP - and, for the other users on this computer, it kept coming up with error messages. To uninstall it was a lot more hassle than it should have been as well. I'd like to find a good garden program - but this isn't it.
