LandDesigner for Windows is a good place to start. About $35 (I got mine at
Best Buy). It has a nice set of features for a small CAD program, including
a White Flower Farm searchable plant library. You can graduate to the
professional version later. Green Thumb Software.
If you're interested in a review of FLOWERscape, a flower garden design
program, check out the WWW site - The Garden Gate.

I just graduated form a Landscape Architecture program and the software they
use are Landcadd and Autocad (They work together). Thats quite expensive
though - I think a couple thousand dollars. I'm not sure, but I think they
now have a version of Landcadd that will work without Autocad, but I'm not
sure of the price. I remember seeing a special price for Landcadd for
students. The # for landcadd is 303-799-3600. I don't really know about
any other software, but I'm sure that there is some that is cheaper. I do
remember seeing some in stores.

I just picked up a copy of LandDesigner for Windows from Green Thumb; I
believe they have a "professional" version as well. It's easy to use,
contains a database of plants/shrubs from Whiteflower Farms, and additional
DBs are available. The one thing I wish it did is "grow" a plan over a
single year to show flowering seasons.

advertised that will let you lay out your landscaping, specify what will be
planted, and will then show you how it will develop over time.

Mum's the Word Plus is a landscape design program for the Macintosh.
It combines an object-oriented drawing program with a extendible plant
database (625 plants) and a landscape symbol library (over 100 symbols
to start). Search for plants by color, size, culture, etc. and then
drag the plant you want to your design and click. The plant symbol for
the plant is drawn at the correct scale. It is labeled and a planting
list is maintained. Double-click the planted symbol to view the plant
information. Add your own plants to the database and your own symbols
to the symbol libray. Search the drawing with database search criteria
to highlight all plants of a particular kind and/or color. Many other
features. In full color or Black and white. It lists for $119.00 but
is available for less through MacConnection. For more information,
