Does Premier Gardens show me how to garden?
No, Premier Gardens is not a
‘how to garden’
software package. It has
been developed specifically for gardeners who keep notes about plants
and gardens.
Go to our
Home Garden Shop for vendors that sell
gardening books.

What is the Value for me?
One the biggest challenges with keeping notes, besides data entry, is
actually organizing the information to use. After 2
to 3 years, the information begins to pile up and it becomes
difficult to keep organized. Premier
Gardens
helps
to keep
the
information organized and allows you to capture the information needed
to
help
you make
gardening decisions.
Premier Gardens
easily integrates text and image data.
Premier
Gardens
has
an easy to use query and reporting system
that transforms
data into
useful information.

How
does Premier Gardens save time?
An important feature of a software package is not how much
or how fast you can enter data,
but how much time you
can save. Premier Gardens uses a
process-based
approach to save time over the entire gardening season. We
studied the entire gardening process from planning to
maintenance and identified how each
of
the processes
interacts
with
each
other.
For
example:
the planning
process provides information
to
the buying
process,
and buying
process
in-turn
provides
information
to
the planting
process, etc.

Is
this a 3D Design system?
This
is
not
a
3D
design
system.
Premier
Gardens is
used after the
garden/landscape design is complete.
This
software
is
used
when all the real gardening
work begins,
like, buying, planting,
tracking, maintenance,
etc.
Premier Gardens Plant Catalog supports the design effort by providing
a catalog that can be queried in
multiple ways.
Premier
Gardens
comes
pre-loaded
with over 400 catalog entries
(most with
pictures)
to get you started.

What information can be captured?
Premier Gardens is designed to allow the gardener to capture minimal generic
information to very detailed information. Minimum plant information
required is common name and color but the gardener can get as detailed as
cultivar, height, blooming season, etc. The gardener can track very
detailed information for some plants and gardens and very generic
information for other plants and gardens.
