"Gardening is one of the top hobbies in America, yet most gardeners don't realize they can take their favorite hobby to new heights with their home computer," said Anne Boswell, vice president of marketing for SierraHome. "SierraHome is excited to offer gardening and landscaping enthusiasts everywhere a software program such as Complete LandDesigner to plan, design, visualize growth and problem-solve before putting a shovel in the ground." Complete LandDesigner, the #1-selling gardening software product on the market in 1999*, has been widely heralded as the leading program by garden writers and software reviewers nationwide. Created with gardeners' needs in mind, SierraHome's LandDesigner is a collection of powerful software tools supported by helpful videos and tutorials to make landscaping easy and fun.

Six programs are included in the new Complete LandDesigner 3D Design Collection 6.0: LandDesigner 3D 6.0, Photo Garden Designer, Garden Encyclopedia, 3D Deck, The Ortho® Home Gardener's Problem Solver and Personal Garden Planner. No other gardening suite combines project-based landscaping, garden research and deck design software.
Landscape Design Tools: Gardeners will enjoy the photo-realistic fun of Photo Garden Designer. Starting with a scanned photo of their yard, gardeners can quickly and easily see how adding shrubs, brick walkways, tile roofs and other accessories can beautify their property before even breaking ground. 3D Deck allows users to design single- or multi-level decks and view them in 3D alone or within the garden plan. With 3D Deck, users can also view an animated deck building sequence from the ground up. Simply click and drag the outline of the deck and 3D Deck calculates how the boards should be cut, placed and even compiles a complete materials shopping list for the design.
Resources for Gardeners: Garden Encyclopedia is a phenomenal resource with thousands of full-color photos of plants, trees and shrubs. A one-button search feature allows users to quickly find and hear the pronunciations of either common or botanical plant names, determine which plants attract hummingbirds or butterflies or search for particular attributes such as flower color, climate zone, bloom season or sun requirements. Gardeners can even rule out poisonous plants for more kid- and/or animal-friendly gardens. Gardeners will get organized and stay one step ahead of outdoor chores with the Personal Garden Planner. Stationed on the desktop, users can plan for various landscaping tasks with a built-in, customizable calendar.
