Hello,

As a new member to this group could somebody help with the following
please...

Could any member suggest a good program for garden design using a computer.

That would give 3D Views of design, Seasonal changes, Growth over time,
Shadow caster etc!

Any comments would be much appreciated.

Regards,
Eamon

Whilst I can't recommend a "good" one, I can warn you off of a very bad one.
There are numerous deals out there offering free versions of Alan
Titchmarsh's Barleywood designer or some such, it's terrible and represents
very bad value for money, even when free. You should see the amount of time
I wasted installing it and trying it out.
