| The Poplars is of State historical and aesthetic significance as a rare collection of early Georgian and vernacular buildings surrounded by a remnant and now rare farm landscape. The overall setting is significant as a very fine parkland of unusual and in some cases rare species that has created a form of eclectic botanical garden. Several plants on the Poplars site are of State historical and aesthetic significance as they are of quite early origin and are a collection of plant species from neighbouring properties, from nurseries across Sydney, from the Royal Botanic Garden, Sydney and from further afield. The layout of the garden is of historical aesthetic significance in reflecting the attitude towards gardening portrayed in gardening magazines and books during the 1940s-1960s, that Mrs Salmond and her son Andrew Salmond relied upon in selecting species and plantings for the Poplars. The Lombardy Poplars are a locally significant visual landmark, clearly illustrating their direct relationship to the naming of the property. |  |
