Designing isn't the main feature of Sweet Home 3D until now, and designing trees is complicate.
is there a way to just use a 2D plan w a texture to represent it ?
You can do that with a PNG image using transparency, that you'll import as a texture and apply on a thin box.

Re: models for kitchen garden/farm ?
SH3D was and is developed with the intent of interior decoration as its main purpose.
If you want to use SH3D to design gardens and such, you will notice that using models of trees and shrubs will slow the program down very, very much. This is caused by the gigantic number of surfaces (read: leaves) that have to calculated for every movement or change in perspective.
With this specialized search you can try to design a garden, without the problems mentioned above.
