- See also Federation Gardens
Federation gardens used collections of different plants, and often used hedging of Privet.
- "Stands of trees, such as the Monterey cypress (Cupressus macrocarpa) were used as hedges.
- The inclusion of specimen trees, such as liquidambars, jacarandas and oaks, were also a common sight in this style of garden and were planted if the room was available.
- Exotic looking palms, such as the fan palms (Trachycarpus fortunei), were also found in federation gardens." -Don Burke
- Plants were selected to produce year-round colour and interest in the local climate conditions.
- Initially, evergreen trees were used, but the denseness of shade led to increasing popularity of deciduous trees such as jacaranda, flowering plum and peppercorn.[9]
- Palms often framed the garden vista, and the native Cootamundra wattle was popular, as were shrubs such as Camellias and standard roses.[9] Conservatories contained begonias and adiantum ferns
