This product is not easy to use. It is orientated towards a US market. If you have a garden which fits one of the simple templates i.e is square, oblong, one curved wall then it may be of some use. It is possible to design a non standard garden shape however, this is not easy unless one has US plot plans with measurements and angles. With an A level in maths I still could not work it out. The plants in template are limited, although can be expanded from the internal database, but again are US based. The product is not obvious to use, despite what it says in the comprehensive instruction manual there are no tutorials. The product could easily be made more useful if additional templates relevant to the UK were downloadable from the web address. Overall a real disappointment.
