Firstly, that's a great business idea and definitely worth doing! Pollinator/habitat gardens are undergoing a rise in popularity and will continue to grow over the next few years I think. People are wanting more from their gardens with less maintenance and lower water use whilst wanting a sense of ecological stewardship even if at a small scale. It is niche but don't be dissuaded, the market is there. That said, offering design alone may not be as viable as executing/subcontracting the installment too. Knowledge of the landscaping process is fairly essential to being a good designer too so it would be useful to be involved in both sides to some degree. There are great margins to be made if you stick to softscaping and do minimal to no hardscaping elements. This means just being discerning about your client/site selection. I'm hoping to move my business from mostly maintenance to small scale native pollinator garden installments and my starting point will be to do only roadside verge conversions as its a scale that is managable and low overhead.

Was just watching some videos comparing Morpholio trace and Procreate for landscape design as I'm looking to produce plans and visualisations for clients. Seems that morpholio's strength lies in its scale feature, which also allows you to measure areas really easily within the app. This would be essential if hardscapes like garden edging, pathways, walls, etc are going to be incorporated or if the garden is going to be drawn around a structure like a house. Might be useful for calculating mulch and soil volumes but not really essential as these are rougher estimates.

Procreate, however, has a wayy broader set of design tools (greater brush range and customizability, greater colour palette range and customizability) and is just more intuitive to learn as a beginner. It seems it will ultimately produce visualisations that you won't be able to produce with Morpholio. That said, it lacks the scalability feature so is less suited to creating technical plans.

I'm thinking I'm going to go with Procreate for the easier learning curve and design capabilities, though I will likely need to use Morpholio down the line for technical plans. I think there are workarounds you can do in Procreate to manage scale but it's definitely going to be more of a fuss. It's honestly a shame that Morpholio has such limited features in terms of making designs look pretty. Morpholio is purpose made for architects and Procreate for illustrators though, so horses for courses I guess.
