Garden Design Application

Dear Lazyweb,

I wish someone would make a garden design program (a bit like Ikea's kitchen design one, but simpler, and online),  that I could use to, um, design my garden.

Does something like this already exist?

Thankyou Lazyweb!

I eventually settled on a pocket structure that recycled one of Irena's old prints really successfully and worked really simply.

Irena helped me to print the grass motif on the slipcase fabric. I decided against the Tigris/Euphrates imagery on the reverse.

euonymus,philadelphus and spiraea

I bought and planted one of these today:

(this is a picture of a euonymus plant I swiped from the BBC website. I'm trying to use imgred(see below) to avoid hotlinking, but it ain't working. This is therefore experimental) Also:

Philadelphus

And: Spiraea

[so far a complete duck for the folks at imgred. A good idea. It'll be even better when it works.][edit:it does!]
