BBC Gardeners' World: 3D Designer
The best thing about the program is the amount of options at your disposal. Since this program is supposed to help you design your garden, the variety of plants and information about them are probably the two most important features. In this aspect, 3D Designer is excellent: the program offers a large plant database that contains information on sizes, climates, colors, and even some planting tips for dozens of plants. Although the graphics is admittedly primitive when compared with today's designer programs, it is adequate in terms of giving you a rough 3D visualization of what your garden will look like. Drawing is easy with 100% mouse-driven interface, and there is a help button that explains what each icon does (although it does not work consistently: sometimes I have to repeatedly click on a button to bring up the help screen). Sample gardens are included, and you can switch the view from 2D (blueprint style) to 3D at any time. All in all, an excellent early application in the 'niche' genre of garden design - well worth a look both to amateur gardeners and collectors of quaint applications. Recommended!
