It's not what the English plant that makes their gardens so distinctive, it's where and how they plant. No patch of soil remains bare for long.

Blank walls are strung with wire and every imaginable vine or shrub trained to grow up them. Fruit trees and hedges serve as living trellises for clematis, roses and other climbers. Plants are grown over, under, around and through each other, creeping out and softening the hard lines of walls and steps.

---- Some software allow users to import house photographs into the software, then select plant icons to position around the photo to help visualize the finished effect. Another type of software 'grows' the plants over 3 or 4 years providing a mature view of the plants and trees. Such software is often up for auction because once used, they are of no further value!
----However, if your goal is to transform your property into a tapestry of color with an abundance of plantings, it is important to find plants which will thrive in your unique garden conditions. To find those plants and learn how to care for them is the goal of our software.
-----Gardening is a lifetime project not to be undertaken lightly. ECG-AS is an interactive gardening encyclopedia on CD-ROM, designed to teach and inspire. Gardening customers tell us they refer to their CD-ROM on a regular basis for ideas and inspiration when planning new flowerbeds, for the more we learn about gardening the more we recognize how little we know. It is a continual learning process. We hope you decide to join our every increasing group of satisfied customers.
