Perry and Ling were two local residents and keen gardeners in the seaside town of Penguin, in northern tasmania.
They started planting their roadside verges at either end of the old coastal road, and ended up creating a beautiful flowering coastal corridor that has become a landmark in the district.
John Mongard Landscape Architects assisted Central Coast Council with park planning and developed The Perri-Ling Masterplan to help guide ongoing works in accordance with theState heritage listing, which protects the intent and form of the gardens.
Newly planted gardens beside the coastal walkway/ bikeway feature local species which, when established, will extend the flowering verge gardens into the foreshore.
