Is there a template that I can use to design my garden?

[lexuscats]

I need a template that will allow me to 'draw' or somehow plan the placement
of plants in my garden, and make changes easily if needed.
I need something that will allow me to put in something to represent the
plants, but also have the ability to put notes by the plants (name, time to
maturity, etc.)

Visio could do it but it seems a bit like overkill to use a $600 program for
that task. I don't think any of the Office apps are the right program so you
will probably not find a template.
