The best way to improve your home landscape and garden is to see the changes you will be making first - before spending money on projects that might not turn out the way you had envisioned them. Instant Landscaping contains 4 CD-ROMs that make landscape design and gardening fun, easy, and accurate.
Most programs make you build a plan from scratch, but Instant Landscaping allows you to scan in a photo of your own home and yard to design from, instead of tediously recreating your existing layout. Or, you can opt to choose from 50 garden designs. The 4 CD-ROMs contain information on how to landscape and design, as well as information on gardening, horticulture, pests and how to preserve your landscape.
State-of- the-art landscaping technology is incorporated into the programs to enable you to view how your landscape will look through each season. A CD-ROM that specifically addresses ecological issues is also included -
learn how to use water efficiently, which plants need minimum water to maintain, and how to make safe home-made pesticides. Instant Landscaping also contains the most in-depth information regarding which plants are perfect for your climate zone and soil, with over 1,700 plants listed in the encyclopedias. An interactive journal and planner keeps the gardener up-to-date with maintenance reminders and tips. Instant Landscaping is by far the best box set that addresses all of your landscape design and gardening needs.
