Extremely disappointed

Extremely disappointed, the programme fails miserably to live up to the blurb on the box. I tried to create a 'stunning design' and found the range of options and choices of features so limited that I gave up in the end. The plantfinder database is poor. The programme does not run fully on vista, the help option will not work. I found it does not enable you to create a design as a garden designer would. |

Absolutely useless

Like other reviewers, I have been very disappointed. Another major criticism, you cant put in many garden/house features - a conservatory, pergola, greenhouse, shed; utility area. You cant have a walled garden. In fact you cant do much! |

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. |

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. |
