Who needs Provence? Wicklow's lavender harvest sale is set to begin this Saturday
The company has been growing lavender at the foot of the mountain for over 20 years now, extracting the oil from the plants for their varied perfume needs which are said to do everything from warding off moths to helping with insomnia, or just keeping the house smelling fresh and summery.
In 2022, the firm launched the brand 'LAVÓ', to be sold exclusively at the harvest sale with hand cream, cologne and lavender oil, along with a heat cushion filled with lavender and Wicklow wheat – a sleep aid that also eases tired muscles.
Items can be gift-wrapped and boxed, while fresh lavender bunches can be sent anywhere in the country for a small postage fee.
Along with plants for you to grow your own lavender garden, you can buy other traditional handcrafted treats, like candles, homemade soaps, and even honey from the lavender fields.
Local Wicklow raspberries (said to be way better than the famed Wexford strawberries) are also on offer.
The harvest sale is running until Sunday, July 28, with the market open from 10am to 5pm each weekend.

Sinéad O'Connor's former Bray seafront home sells for €1.295m
Sinéad O'Connor 's former Wicklow home has been sold for €1.295m, according to figures from the Residential Property Price Register. The seafront Victorian style home at Bray was put on the market by estate agents, HJ Byrne last December with a guide price of €1.295m. A 'sale agreed' sign was erected at the property in March and now an official entry on the Property Price Register has confirmed that the sale closed on July 16th, meeting the guide price. At 3,713 sq ft, 'Montebello', as it is named, is well over three times the size of an average family home and includes six bedrooms and three bathrooms. READ MORE The €1.295m sale is one of nine €1m+ residential property sales to take place in the in-demand seaside town of Bray to date this year. The move to put the property on the market came five months after An Coimisiún Pleanála refused planning permission to then owner, Rachel Carthy, to convert the property into five apartments. A number of local residents opposed the planned apartment scheme and An Coimisiún Pleanála found that the proposal would result in an incongruous structure in terms of design. The commission, is dismissing its own inspector's recommendation to grant planning permission, found that the scheme would adversely affect the architectural character of the seafront area. The property has become a site of pilgrimage for fans of the late singer, who lived in the property for 15 years. Ana Bento, Maria Correia and Lina Gouveia from Portugal place flowers at Sinead O'Connor's former home in Bray on the first anniversary of her death. Photograph: Colin Keegan, Collins Dublin Ms O'Connor died at the age of 56 on July 26th 2023 of natural causes at her London home, and in August 2023, mourners left flowers outside the home as thousands of people gathered on the seafront to see her funeral cortege make its way past. Fans returned last year from as far away as New Zealand to pay homage to the 'Nothing Compares to U' singer. The seafront building has been in the public eye ever since Ms O'Connor bought it at the height of the property boom in 2007, for €1.7m, only to slash the asking price to €950,000 when she put it back on the market in 2021. The 1860s double-fronted six bed house facing the promenade later sold for €1.04m in November 2021. One objection lodged on behalf of next door neighbours on Strand Road claimed that the scheme 'is an excessive and far too commercial development that fails to have due regard to the protection of the residential amenities of adjoining houses'. The objection, by Ceceline and Frank Power - drafted by Peter P. Gillett & Associates - contended that 'the quest to maximise the amount of development on site undermines the existing quality of the living environment that our clients enjoy and that would be reasonable to protect'.

How Ireland went from first to last in the race to develop offshore wind energy
In 2005, former taoiseach Bertie Ahern cut the ribbon on the State's first offshore wind farm, Arklow Bank 1 , hailing it as a 'milestone' in the Republic's shift from fossil fuels. The 17-turbine, 25-megawatt (MW) project, situated on a sandbank 10km off the Wicklow coast, was one of the biggest in the world and the first to deploy giant wind turbines (above 3MWs each). For a fleeting moment, the State was in the vanguard of this new technology. The Arklow project was operational a full three years before Scotland connected its first offshore wind farm to the grid . READ MORE Fast forward 20 years, and the Republic still has just one operational offshore wind farm (Arklow) with the same generating capacity (25MW). The farm is, however, closed for maintenance. So right now, we don't generate a single megawatt from offshore wind despite having one of the largest offshore wind resources in the world. The problem there is that the grid can't cope with the level of energy coming from these projects By contrast, Scotland has 10 large offshore wind farms with a cumulative capacity to generate 4.3 gigawatts (GWs) of electricity, making its offshore wind industry 172 times larger than ours. It also has another 1.3GW under construction and another 2.3GW about to be built. Scotland is now recognised as a world leader in offshore wind. The problem there is that the grid can't cope with the level of energy coming from these projects, hence the government is being forced to pay operators compensation to keep their turbines partially idle, a source of significant controversy. Either way, its offshore wind industry is a mirror image of the Republic's failure to launch. State-owned utility the ESB has more offshore assets there than here. It gets worse. The Arklow Bank 1 project is now obsolete and the operator is attempting to get planning permission to decommission the site. So we're likely to generate zero energy from this abundant natural resource in the short term This is likely to happen before any of the proposed new projects here come on stream. According to insiders, the Oriel wind farm project off the Louth coast (the most advanced) won't have its turbines turning until at least 2031. So we're likely to generate zero energy from this abundant natural resource in the short term. How the State started first and finished last in this race is no secret. 'I don't think the Department of Finance have any respect for the tourism industry' Listen | 41:44 In 2011, the then government decided not to extend the main State subsidy for renewables – the Renewable Energy Feed-in Tariff – to offshore or to solar, essentially putting all our eggs in one renewable basket, onshore wind. In hindsight, this was a big strategic error. Offshore wind was, and still is, more expensive and the then government's focus on onshore was intended to keep energy costs down, but it backfired. The narrower focus combined with the slower-than-expected rollout of onshore wind projects (for planning and legal reasons) has slowed the State's decarbonisation process, leaving us more reliant (than other countries) on imported fossil fuels. The race, from the Republic's perspective, is not lost This reliance is perhaps the single biggest driver of high prices here. 'The difference between the approach we took and Scotland took ... Scotland went okay, yes, this is likely going to drive up electricity bills. We have to accept that because it is a more expensive technology than onshore,' says director of external affairs at Wind Energy Ireland Justin Moran. 'On the other hand, we will decarbonise much more quickly and we will build an industry from which we can export our skills and services,' he says, noting that Aberdeen is transforming itself from an oil and gas hub into a base for offshore wind. Moran jokes that if you're on a conference call about offshore wind energy policy, many of the accents are Scottish as companies bring in expertise from there to advise on Irish projects. The race, from the Republic's perspective, is not lost. We could go a long way to weaning ourselves off fossil fuels, creating a self-sustainable energy sector and addressing the State's high-price culture if it moved decisively to exploit its offshore wind capacity. But what does energy self-sufficiency look like? Wind Energy Ireland estimates that the State could phase out fossil fuels and become energy self-sufficient if it could generate 10.7GW from onshore wind, 5.5GW from offshore wind and 6.1GW from solar. We have just over 5GW of onshore and 1.8GW of solar installed. The group estimates that we could deliver the 5.5GW of offshore wind in a single bound, with an investment of €24 billion, less than one full year of corporate tax receipts. The State has the cash to commandeer this space either directly or in combination with private developers, perhaps with the State taking a minority stake. Of course, this would have to be done in parallel with a big energy grid upgrade. This year is the 100th anniversary of the State's premier infrastructural project, the Ardnacrusha hydroelectric scheme in Co Clare People frequently claim that we've little to show for the mountain of tax receipts piling up in the exchequer. This year is the 100th anniversary of the State's premier infrastructural project, the Ardnacrusha hydroelectric scheme in Co Clare, which effectively electrified the State. At one point, it was generating 80 per cent of the Republic's power needs and from renewable energy. Back then, the fledgling Free State government spent roughly 20 per cent of its national income [€6.6 million] on the project. Today, 20 per cent of our national income equates to about €80 billion. Is it not time that we took command of some of these projects ourselves rather than endlessly waiting for private investors?

Garden centre apologises over delayed orders and communication difficulties
One of the country's largest garden and outdoor living retailers has apologised to customers left waiting for extended periods for products after one of its main suppliers went into administration. Rathwood Garden & Living has been operating from large premises on the Wicklow-Carlow border for just over 30 years and has expanded in recent years with concessions in other retail outlets as well as a significant online presence. It also hosts a series of popular themed family events, including those centred on Halloween and Christmas . Since early this year, however, customer dissatisfaction and concerns with the retailer have been mounting, with people contacting The Irish Times to complain about long delays in orders being fulfilled and problems getting in touch with the company to inquire about the status of products that have been paid for. Others have highlighted how orders were rescheduled repeatedly for delivery before, ultimately, being cancelled with little or no explanation from the company as to what was going on. The level of frustration has increased in recent weeks. Rathwood Garden & Living has acknowledged there have been problems since earlier this year. But the company stressed it had significantly expanded its customer support since the start of summer, sourced new funding and developed more robust supply chains as it worked through the order backlog. 'Over Christmas, Mercer Agencies, a key supplier who made up more than 70 per cent of our supply chain, suddenly went into administration,' said company managing director James Keogh. 'The impact was severe. It forced us to rebuild huge parts of our operation and the reality is that some of our customers were affected as a result.' He said the company had secured a multimillion euro cash injection from a strategic investor and had been 'able to get back on our feet, restoring core brands, securing new partnerships and putting better systems in place'. However, Mr Keogh said the process of rebuilding after the setback connected to the breakdown of the relationship with its main supplier had not been without its challenges. He accepted that 'orders were delayed, lead times increased and communication sometimes fell short of what we expect from ourselves. We're not going to shy away from that. We know we let some people down – and we're truly sorry'. He said 90 staff, including those employed in the restaurant on the premises in Co Wicklow and in its events programme, had been redeployed to help with customer support and hundreds of consumers who had faced delays have been offered vouchers for its restaurant and popular Santa Train experience. He committed to continue working to resolve outstanding issues and expressed confidence that the bulk of these would be resolved before the end of this month.
