I'd like to get a Mac application to help me plan my landscape and
gardening. I want to draw garden plots and general landscaping features
(trees, house, shrubs, paths) and play around with different designs. A
database of plant hardiness, as well as images that show what they look
like, would be extremely helpful.

In my MacWarehouse (1-800-255-6227) catalog, I found the following:

Design Your Own Home--Landscape for $49.95

I also checked my MacConnection catalog and found

FLOWERscape for $48

and

Mum's the Word Plus for $75

Does anyone have any experience with any of these programs, good or bad?
I'm not sure if the DYOH--L would have enough plant and flower data; do the
other two have landscaping drawing features? Thanks for any info.

FLOWERscape is strictly for planning flower gardens but it is VERY pretty.
I will be posting a review to this group shortly. Stay tuned.

I have Sprout for the Macintosh, which I like, but I just wanted to
mention it in case you are considering it: it's oriented towards
vegetables. You can add plants to the database (which is what I had to
do with my herbs), it does take zones into account, but the layout is
basically square or rectangle. I have my herbs in a circular garden,
so what I ended up doing was using Sprout for the veggies and MacPaint
to draw blobs that represented my herbs. You might want to see if a
friend, user group, or computer store can demo it before you think of
buying it because it sounds like it's not quite designed for what you
want.
