 Mildly interesting October 19, 2005
Limited Database and cheesy 3d graphics. Nice descriptions of the plants it does have, however. If you're new to gardening and you want to explore shapes and heights, etc, this program is sort of okay. I would much rather start with a great program and grow into it. The problem is that such quality programs consistently cost well over $1,000. Unfortunately I have yet to find anything better in the economy category than this, so if you're going to buy one, it might as well be this one.

This is advertised as being compatible with Mac OS. It is not.br /Do not order if you have a Mac computer.
DON'T even THINK ABOUT buying this one!! September 13, 2005

This software was created in 1995 and updated in 1996, and though it claims to be supported by Windows-XP it will only cause you grief. This gardening software "requires" and attempts to install QuickTime v2.1.2 yet won't recognize QuickTime v5 or v6 and as such the gardening program refuses to even startup; I'm not about to abandon a newer version of Quick Time or Windows-XP just for this software (which is worthless to me). It sounds good in the ad, but that's where the good stops. The only good thing about it is if you toss it into the nearest fire or garbage crusher at least you won't be out too much money.
Not much there September 1, 2005

This software is not of much use, especially if you are interested in xeriscaping. br /It may seem cheap but with shipping it does become expensive for what you get. Ideally I would like to buy the Home and Garden Designer software, but only if they had two extra funtions: 1) Ability to modify the database to enter your own plants, be they obscure or modified to your climate etc, and 2) The ability to animate through the seasons or have a garden planner that shows which plants are in bloom and during which weeks.br /
Burpee 3D for Windows XP - NO! August 28, 2004

I purchased this product which says on the case that it is compatible with XP. When I installed it, it insisted on installing in the root directory. That is a holdover from DOS and a Windows program shouldn't do it. Then it wanted to install QuickTime v2.x, didn't recognize QuickTime v6 and refused to run without the older version. If you have a computer capable of running XP, find something else.
