This excellent little series from Norwegian Log continues with garden designers Jay Larch and Darran Jaques who run Jaques Larch Designs discussing how to incorporate a log cabin into the garden seamlessly. Here's a snippet:
To provide form, interest, and balance during the winter months, loosely lay out structural plants, such as low-growing Pittosporum tobira 'nana' in the garden. To soften the cabin year-round plant a small tree or large shrub, such as Hammemalis 'Arnolds Promise', closer to the building. It is important to include a few well-placed roses too. Choose a variety that is repeat flowering, with a good scent. Dot them around where you can - and appreciate their heady scent (but nothing too formal, please!)Well worth a read.
