I am a cheapstake...yes I know. But why pay when there is a chance to get something for free.

I want to do a 3D design (2D if I am asking for the impossible) of the garden of my dreams but the software is so damn expensive. Anyone know any good sites??

I have had a few landscapers out to look at the garden but can't seem to get accross to them just what I want it like, and my artistic flare is non-existant and the drawings I try to do look really naff.r />
Thanks

There is another option.Look in your local big newsagents,WH Smith etc,and check out the free software on the front,That way you only get to pay 3 or 4 quid for a prog that would have been £60 or 70 + new.And how much does garden design age?
Or go look in PC World in the cheap software part.

You might try to pick up a copy of "Ponds USA and Water Gardens" at your local Home Depot or Lowe's or your local pet store. They have tones of ideas on how to build a pond. Many of the advertisers have web addresses and will send your free catalogs or have down loadable plans.. I haven't seen any software for plans but again you might try the builder supply stores. They usually have small DIY book sections for building all sorts of great ideas. Try the local fish stores that sell quality Koi and you might find just what you need.
Good luck! I would love to see pictures when your done! I want to build my own some time soon.. just haven't had the $$ to start what I want! lol

Here's a few places that look like a great places to start!

http://www.Pondmarket.com <<< only saw DVD's
http://www.atlanticfountains.com <<< say they have software but $$$$
