Is there a freeware program for landscape layouts? Something similar to the
program for furniture arranging that was posted here some weeks ago. I just want
a simple program where shrubs, trees and flowers can be arranged on the screen and
rearranged for a view of them prior to planting. TIA

I need something like this also. However I need it to show me what the
landscape will look like after all the plants and scrubs die from
fungus, bugs, blight, drought, or whatever. That way I can get a
realistic arrangement.

Google for BrownThumb LandscapeCAD.

And I *am* kidding. If it were available, sadly I would need it as well!

You don't need the frewware: Just go outside and look at your yard now.

I have not explored the resultant links, but if you do a
GoOgle seach you should get several hits. Search for the
string "Landscape design software freeware"

I missed the post for the furniture arranging software, could
you repost the link ?

Well yes, I can see the dead plants from my gardening efforts last
year. I'm interested in knowing how the garden will look after the
bushes, etc that I plant this year die.

Maybe I should just plant dead bushes now and skip the wait. It would
be cheaper.

pencil and paper's much faster. use a few erasable color pencils. "colerase" are most
common.
