Garden Planner is a Windows program that allows you to design your dream garden plot as well as arrange plants, trees, buildings and other objects. With this tool, you can visualize a landscape layout and calculate the required amount of materials.

Review

Similar to Microsoft Image Composer, you are able to experiment with several sample projects. You can not only analyze the layout, but also move stuff around and assess the effect this has on the surrounding objects.

In addition, you have the ability to modify the overall dimensions and rotate the elements. Labels may be added or removed, and you also can choose the print scale and format. Another very useful feature of this application is that you are able to generate and print a list with all the plants, buildings, furniture and paths.

Objects

The software supports a wide range of flowers, shrubs, trees, fruits and vegetables, as well as various building structures such as walls, fences, pools and ponds. It is possible to create an irrigation system, add vehicles, animals or people. The tool supports basic shapes, topiary, vegetable tiles and symbols. Moreover, you have the option to import an image into your plan.
