Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.The International Garden Photographer of the Year awards were announced two weeks ago in Kew, launching a massive exhibition that will run until September at the Royal Botanic Gardens. Garden Photographer of the Year (AA Publishing, £25) contains all the images from that exhibition, as well as those commended by the judges, making a total of 224 pages of beautiful, impressive and astonishing photographs. Category winners include Colin Roberts's haunting and painterly "Ash Tree on the Downs", Andrew Bailey's "Tug of War" (for which extra credit should go to the earthworm and the robin who posed for the picture) and "Marguerites in the Rain", by Chinch Gryniewicz, which won in the Plant Portraits category and is probably what we can expect to see in Britain this summer.
