Free online landscaping program?????
Better Homes and Gardens has a free on here -

You will have to register with BHG to access it, but except for getting to spam your e-mail box it is free. I checked the no spam option box, but I got an increase in spam traffic strting right after that nonetheless. The capabilities of the program are not very advanced, but it may meet your needs.
If you browse around their website they have lots of landscape plans available for free. Most of them are themed. At the very least, these will give you some ideas.
If you have a decent photo editing tool or graphics software you may be able to just use a digital image (digital camera or a scanner regular photo) to make your own landscape plan. Load up your house/yard photos as the base. Then look through internet resources for palnt info and make 'digital stickers' from the internet images to paste on your base photo. It is more involved that the BHG free planner, but you will have a better idea of what is will really look like. I am planning to give this method a try myself for our yard. But for me, playing around with the 'digital playground' will be as much fun or more so that playing in the real dirt - I love computer graphics fun.
