Work on your yard on the rainiest of days, or plant a garden you never have to weed. Create a 3-D rendering of your dream garden, scan a photograph of your home and lay out flowers and trees around it, or just research the best plants and gardening techniques for your geographical area. Total 3D Landscape Deluxe 3.0 makes all of this and more possible.
The Total 3D Landscape process is relatively simple. First lay out a plot of land including a home floor plan, lot shape, lawns, garage and gardens; hills, depressions, streams, and ponds go into the mix as well. Then it's time to add plant life: browse a catalogue of more than 4,000 cultivatable plants to find your favourites, or use the detailed search engine to match what you've got in mind. If you want to find flowers of a particular colour for a specific soil type, then define the types of insects these flowers will attract, this program can help.
Total 3D Landscape Deluxe 3.0 favours detail-oriented users, gardeners who want to nail down every possible element of their landscape plan before going outside and getting to work. The program's interface is somewhat unfriendly and doesn't offer many shortcuts for repetitive tasks. What it does provide, though, is plenty of gardening information--on seasonal planting, irrigation, garden design, climate, plant types and everything else a home landscaper can imagine. The program will even calculate a budget that estimates the cost of the garden you are planning, one that is flexible enough to include such elements as the cost of labour if you aren't planning to do all the heavy lifting yourself.
As if that weren't enough, Total 3D Landscape Deluxe 3.0 comes with 3D Photo, Sunset Garden Problem Solver and The Better Homes and Gardens Guide to Gardening. This trio of helpful resources will fill out the encyclopaedia of gardening information available to users. With these additional sources, you can extend your gardening expertise indefinitely, turning to this CD-ROM library again and again. --Alyx Dellamonica

The basic idea is OK. Designing gardens in 2d, with the size of plants outlined in plan view alowing the designer to better plan the garden for plants maximum size, then walking through the garden in full 3d view mode with photo realistic plants.
However the interface is poor and the programme managed to crash and close down twice within the first 20 minutes of use. Rather annoying as I was preparing my first master piece. This is version 1.0 of the software, so you should expect problems ... Read More

The good points: 1. Easy to create plot area once you've worked out how to use it. 2. OK Graphics. 3. Good selection of plants.
The bad points: 1.Very poor selection of garden objects i.e. fences, furniture etc! 2.Very poor interface, difficult to master. 3.Irritating bug that prevents you from doing anything every 5 minuits. 4.Poor customisation of objects. 5.Lacking some very very basic functions. 6.Download site is appauling!
