In 1921 London perfumer CK Denny started life with his family in Tasmania. Finding the soil of the land and weather surprisingly comparable with the lavender regions of Provence, France he set his dreams in the grounds of North Lilydale by planting the lavender seeds obtained from the southern French Alps. Known as “Lavandula angustifolia” the true French Lavender. In three years time it had enough harvest to distil oil. With test samples sent to London for analysis, it is confirmed that the quality of the lavender oil is at par with their French counterpart. 25 years later the farm relocated to Bridestowe Lavender Estate where it flourished till this day.

Yes, no doubt there are many beautiful lavender fields across Australia, but none can compare in its pureness to Bridestowe Lavender Estate. In keeping with tradition only the “Lavandula angustifolia” species has been in used. Making it the largest privately owned lavender estate standing at 260 acres with 650,000 plants of a single species – true French Lavender. Not only did the Denny’s succeed in the planting and growing technique, but also in pioneering the modern harvesting and distilling technique to maximize the purest of Lavender oil. Today its innovation is adopted by Lavender estates around the world and set as a benchmark. By the way there are 39 species of Lavender found in the world till date.
