Bridestowe Lavender Estate is a lavender farm located in Nabowla, Tasmania, Australia.[1] The farm is believed to be the largest commercial plantation of Lavandula angustifolia in the world.[2] Bridestowe was established in 1922 by Charles Denny,[3] and advanced by his son, Tim Denny.[4] It is named in honour of the birthplace of Charles Denny's wife, the English town of Bridestowe.
