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.IT IS NOT all bad news on the mail-order front, as several readers have pointed out. Lady Lea of Bury St Edmunds has found that, apart from one hiccup, all her orders 'have been packed excellently, arrived in good health and are flourishing in their new homes'. She especially commends Reads Nurseries, of Hales Hall, Loddon, Norfolk NR14 6QW (0508 46395), which specialises in conservatory plants and unusual fruit.
Helen Thomas of Shrewsbury has never been let down by Poyntzfield Herb Nursery, nr Balblair, Black Isle, by Dingwall, Ross and Cromarty IV7 8LX (0381 8352, 12-1pm or 6-7pm). 'Plants are each wrapped in black polythene to cover the root-balls. They also use straw and newspaper. Quality is impressive.'
She reports no disasters, either, with old shrub roses from John Scarman at Cottage Garden Roses, Woodland House, Stretton, nr Stafford ST19 9LG (0785 840217). 'Plants are tied together and put in a double- walled paper sack. They are dispatched between November and March.'
