I'm in a kind of landscape and have a design project, due in just a couple of weeks. The we're working with client keeps everything he wants change and I'm tired of deleting. I need a design program that is easy to use, but still detailed and realistic. I'm pretty computer savy, so I can learn pretty much, I'm just Crunched for time, so I prefer to be able to learn quickly software … any suggestions? (I also like the software to have a list of very large plants, if possible)

In an effort to become a sustainable, green city, the City of Tempe has implemented several programs to help facilitate water conservation, recycling, a reduction in fuel consumption, and energy efficiency. The City of Tempe has established ordinances that set specific water saving performance standards and offers plumbing rebates in order to encourage homeowners to replace high water use toilets. Tempe also supports xeriscape landscaping, a type of landscaping that uses plants requiring little water in an effort to preserve this precious resource in the Arizona desert.
