To start, you'll want to consider choosing plants that naturally complement the architect and style of the log cabin. Selecting plants that thrive in and around your region is important so you can blend with nature, as well as keep costs down by not investing in exotic species that may require more maintenance or be expensive to sustain.
Consider adding additional elements like an outdoor bench or seating area near your cabin where people can relax and enjoy views of the surrounding area. This could be a great place for family members and friends to come together and connect with nature while also getting some fresh air. Additionally, adding bird feeders or bird baths nearby can attract birds, butterflies and other wildlife which add further beauty to your garden space while providing an opportunity for wildlife observation.
