Gardening With A 3D Geometric Twist

Started by Josh M · 10 months ago

There’s a few products out there that I think are exceptional for the problems they address. Typically, its a fancy electronic consumer product that promises to save more time or remove hair or whatever.
Recently I’ve been seeing products that are designed to save ... Continue reading »

    That's a nice shape for a planter. However, the lime green color would clash with my orange shag carpet and my green avocado colored refrigerator.

    Oh Josh, you really had me going there for a minute! I'm an avid landscaper (purely amateur) and have spent many hours trying to find and then evaluate software products and work flows to get decent 3D plants into my SolidWorks models of my house. I thought you were providing the answer...

    There is a big hole there (sorry, I'm also an inveterate punster) for someone to fill. Anybody have a solution, or partial solution, that I've missed?

    Thanks anyway for the jolt of almost joy.

    hmmm, plants in solidworks. That would be interesting. Maybe if there's more interest in using SolidWorks for architectural work, plants would soon follow. Sounds like an open market to me.

    I keep hoping that there will be a mashup product that takes advantage of the possibilities.

    When I first moved here to Massachusetts (when dirt was still being formed and dinosaurs were bellowing), there wasn't much going on in the landscaping market compared to California. Now folks have realized that one of the easiest ways to add value to a home is with some basic, easily maintained landscaping.

    That being said, we would be wise to avoid falling into the "putting green" mentality. A friend from Greece got it right when he mentioned that he just couldn't understand why Americans spent so much time on their lawns and so little time on their families!

    Your friend is so right. We're not concerned about what people think about our family huh? Just if our yard has weeds. what is that all about. I'm not mowing this summer.

    My mom is a horticulturalist and landscape designer. I grew up in a house full of plants and gardens so I've always been interested in that stuff.

    I imagine it could be used out or in. If you have plants spread all over the place like me, this saves a lot of space. granted you can't have very large ones though.
