Customer Reviews

Very inflexible
I found this product a little clunky to use, which I could put up with. Unfortunately, our garden is sloping and none of the boudary walls etc. are square with each other. This software does not seem to allow for anything but completely level ground and walls can only be rotated through 90 degree angles, so unless you are lucky to have a completely flat and square garden, this will not even be able to display the garden you have, let alone plan what you want to do with it.

A con
After 15 days the disc doesn't work, unless you pay more money. You are directed to a german site, and it seems that you have to pay a further amount or you cannot use the disc again. What a con. I didn't see this mentioned anywhere when I bought the disc.

Garden and home design
Great package to design your garden or home, it has very advanced features, and like most of these pieces of software you have to be prepared to take time to learn it. The houses and plants included with the library are clearly based on the American market, although I had no trouble finding plants for our garden.
