Gardening / Cuttings: Any volunteers?
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 National Trust desperately requires volunteers who know about mapping to help save its rare collection of rhododendrons at Killerton, near Exeter in Devon. The 20-acre garden contains 95 different kinds. One-fifth of the plants have died, and many of the remainder are suffering from the combined effects of summer drought, winter storms and old age. The volunteers will be asked to tag plants and plot their positions on a map. For further information, contact Andrew Mudge, head gardener at Killerton (0392 881939).
