Try a landscape architect instead of a software program

I am starting a company to help people design and refresh their gardens and landscapes. My services will include planning out their garden, helping them select plants at the nursery, and then helping them keep their yard green and healthy. I'm thinking of a name with
"-- Scenes" or "-- Scapes" in it, but I'm open to any ideas. I am near the coast and specialize in plants that do well there. I love the name Gardenscapes but it is already taken. Thanks much!
Hi:
I am a landscaper and designer. I have had a business for over eight years. When you create the name of your business, think of your own personality and how it can reflect on your clients. You live near the coast and are in a sub - tropical or tropical setting. Coastal Gardening may be a thought as well of Garden Scences By The Sea, Tropical Paradise Through Gardening, Gardening With Tropical Plants, Creating Coastal Gardens, or Coastal Gardenscapes.
These are just a few that come to mind. Take some words that reflect your area and spend some time playing with the different words. Put some good thought about what your clients would like. This is what I did with my off line business as well as my on line business. I will link you to the tropics section of my website. Browse through as you may find something that may help you. Good luck to you and if I can be of any other help, let me know! Have a great day!

Good luck! Hope this helps.
I've always enjoyed working outside with the earth and plants. I thought about becoming a Landscaper for awhile but now I'm into computers. Just tonight I saw at this College's website that I am thinking about going to, they have a major for Garden Design. Does that help with becoming a landscaper for a business like that?
Why not major in Horticulture with a minor in landscape design or architecture. That way you get the best of both worlds. You will learn about growing, living, plants and turf as well as learning how to apply this knowledge into designing it yourself before the installation. Of course you will need to have courses in botany as well as soil management or sciences and a course in entomology wouldn't hurt either. If you can graduate with at least a Bachelors you will have gained a tremendous amount of knowledge in the landscape field. In the meantime, during your summertime break, you can find seasonal work with a local landscape company. This will be a way for you to get your hands dirty and learn the trade first hand. A couple of seasons working with a good contractor, along with a degree, will get you well on your way to owning your own landscape company. Good luck!

I am both interested in studying horticulture and garden design. What would be a smarter thing to do: to get a degree in horticulture and then pursue some sort of specialisation in garden design or vice versa? To what an extent do these two things intertwine in real life?
I am in college right now for a degree in Horticulture. I want to do Landscape Design, and hope to go on to Landscape Architecture. As of right now, my community college only offers a degree in Horticulture, classes only for Landscape design. I am trying to get all my Gen Eds done before going for my Bachelor's Degree.
In Landscape design, you need to know the growth habits of the plants you are using in your design, how they will mature, the Latin names because that is how they are identified in the industry, soil requirements and many other things. Your horticulture classes will teach you that.

Resource Zen Garden - The Beauty of CSS Design - Virtual Assistant ...
The site provides a basic HTML text document. Then using CSS only, they add the layout & design elements of the site. They invite others to submit their CSS design. There are some gorgeous web designs featured here, & the fact that all the design & layout elements are done in CSS is incredible to me. I've been combing this site for days, enthralled at what you can do with CSS. LOL - I have a link to this site on my VA site under "Website FYIs" on why not to use tables for layout as an example of what can be done if you don't use tables. I also have The Zen of CSS Design book by Dave and Molly from Zen Garden that I purchased a few years ago. I don't suggest this as a "first-timer" book to learn CSS, though. I love the Zen Garden site and all the creative ideas, so that is why I included the link on my site. Very cool.
Meditation Room with a Zen Garden « Luxury Housing Trends
Need a peaceful and calming place to relieve your tension and worries? Create a meditation room or space within your home that you can go to when you think you can’t handle one more ounce of stress.
One way to make a relaxing space is to incorporate a zen garden. All this involves is a sectioned area or wooden foundation that you can fill up with sand and rocks. The zen garden below has different sections, which make it more interesting. For more ambiance, add some candles in the garden’s design too. The soft glow can get you in the mood to settle and center.
With a simple wooden rake, you can put interesting designs into the sand to mimic movement or symbolize water. Raking your garden might be a peaceful activity in itself. A zen garden like this would be a perfect addition to a small room that has windows as its focus.
