I'm sure what's available now is even nicer, but this came with an encyclopedia of plants of all kinds, with information for each plan about how big it gets, what kind of light and water it needs, etc. You map out your yard and can put your house, fences, driveway, etc. You "drop" plants in from the overhead view, and then you get to take a virtual walk through it in a 3D view. You can also go at it another way, starting with a photo of certain areas of the yard, and then add plants to the foreground. Lots of fun. I lovely backyard that is all dirt... Sounds like a perfect place to find a corner to compost in for starters. Have fun.

They will often draw you a sketch especially if you are buying plants from them. In other cases, plants are set out in displays and by shade, sun, bush, perennial, annual, etc. Have fun.
