Chris – i've played with Home Series:Landscape from Autodesk and found it
incredibly slow, with interminable redraw after making additions/changes.
it also has virtually no plant selection and no plant information. i
reviewed more than 20 different software programs for gardeners and wrote
an article for the March 92 National Gardening; it's been uploaded here
into library 11 ("Softga.txt"). Take a glance through that; if you have
more questions, please let me know and i can give you whatever other
"hands-on" info about specific programs.
