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.

INFORMATION of a wonderfully esoteric nature appears in The Gardener's Yearbook, edited by Charles Quest-Ritson and Christopher Blair (Macmillan, pounds 14.99). You can find out where to apply for horticultural grants, where the best libraries are, learn about seed exchange schemes and what garden restoration projects are under way. There is a riveting digest of the latest scientific research ('Use of seed priming to bypass stratification requirements of three aquilegia species'); a list of the new plants introduced in 1993; details of shows, societies, garden centres. You want facts? You got them.
