Cuttings: RHS flower show blossoms early
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 ROYAL Horticultural Society has decreed that February now marks the beginning of spring, rather than the end of winter, and is consequently holding its first spring flower show next Tuesday (11am-7pm, admission pounds 5) and Wednesday (10am-5pm, admission pounds 3) at its hall in Vincent Square, Westminster, London SW1.
If you have ever been at a show late on a Tuesday evening and wondered why you are the only person left who has not disappeared somewhere upstairs, relax. You, too, can become a member of the Horticultural Club, which meets in the evening of the first day of the Westminster shows.
There is a dinner ( pounds 13.50), followed by a lecture. Next Tuesday, Elizabeth Banks will speak on 'The Restoration of Historic Gardens'. Membership of the club is pounds 6.
