A considerable influence on the design work by Michael Bligh, the firm's Principle Landscape Architect, has been his upbringing at Pejar Park, a cattle and sheep property located between Goulburn and Crookwell, high in the Southern Tablelands of NSW.
Purchased in 1939, Michael's mother Beatrice Bligh began to create a garden that she had great vision for. An admirer of the work of Edna Walling, she gradually developed the garden in a relaxed, informal style with generous spaces of green English lawns , bordered with the long sweeping curves of garden beds filled with drifts of flowering shrubs and perennials.
Fifteen years later, the garden was considered to be the Champion Homestead Garden of NSW as judged by the prestigious Sydney Morning Herald Garden Competition 1965.
Pejar Park is the epitome of a classic Australian country garden. The homestead is surrounded with a fine selection of deciduous, flowering and evergreen trees, strategically placed to enhance and compliment the architecture of the house, and to frame views from the house out to the landscape beyond.
