Computer-aided garden design

Computer-aided garden design is like using a special computer program to help plan and design your garden. Just like how you might use crayons to draw and color a picture, you can use this program to create a picture of your dream garden.

First, you start by drawing the shape and size of your garden on the computer program. This is like drawing a picture frame you want to fill with your garden picture.

Next, you can add different plants, flowers, and trees to your garden picture by selecting them from a library of images in the program. You can choose the colors and sizes of the plants that you want to include in your garden.

The program also tells you how much sunlight each area of your garden gets during the day. It's like a teacher telling you whether an area in your garden gets an A+ (lots of sunlight) or a C- (not too much sunlight).

You can also add different features to your garden like a pond, fountain or bench, just like adding different stickers to your picture. You can move things around on the picture until you like how everything looks.

After you finish creating your garden on the computer program, you can go outside and use it as a roadmap to create your real garden. It's like having a game plan before you start playing a game.

Overall, computer-aided garden design helps you create a picture of your ideal garden and makes it easier to bring your design to life.
