1.0 out of 5 stars Not worth a penny, 15 Aug 2004
Geoff Hamilton's garden designer is an insult to the man's memory. Clunky, complicated and frustrating, it is really not labouring away for hours to end up with some poorly animated misrepresentation of what you wanted to create. The free virtual garden designer software available from the BBC website is far superior to this apalling offering. Failing that, you would be far better off with pen and paper than this software.

1.0 out of 5 stars Geoff Hamilton Gardening Double Pack: 3D Garden Designer & P, 16 Jul 2003
By A Customer
Having already read the first review on this, I thought I would still buy as I am usually very good with software. I had also used a few other garden packages, so it should have been fairly straightforward to navigate - so I thought. I spent hours the first time trying to get something to resemble my garden, gave up when I couldn't get a 3d perspective and haven't tried again since. Without doubt the help menus are very limited in explanation. I also found the Plant Encyclopedia to be very limited with content. Like most I enjoy putting out the summer bedding plants, however information on site and care is virtually non-existant. The same for perenials, The Plant Encyclopedia on its own, despite sounding like it has much information "over 4000 plants", I have found of no use at all. What it doesn't say is that there are many versions of the same plant included, thus reducing the inclusion of variety. Sorry, definite thumbs down.

1.0 out of 5 stars Unhelpful garden design software, 3 Feb 2004
By A Customer
After downloading the software without difficulty, I expected to produce shrub border designs to scale with relative ease.

I was most disapointed as I struggled to understand how the program worked. The help menus didn't seem to offer the required help and the plant encyclopedia didn't contain any of the plants I wanted to use.

After struggling for a couple of hours and failing to produce anything I gave up and opted for more traditional methods of pen and paper instead.

The programme is abysmal, not at all intuitive, and the manual is worse. Putting even a fence in was difficult enough, but I stuck with it. Read more
