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 Museum of Garden History is selling a selection of flower seeds grown at the time of the Tradescants, gardeners to the king in the 17th century, including Hieracium maculatum (spotted mouse- ear), Calendula officinalis (pot marigold), Digitalis lutea (yellow foxglove), Lychnis coronaria (rose campion), and Oenothera biennis (evening primrose). For pounds 4.50 (inc p&p) you get five packets of seed with Tradescant Trust labels and instructions. Contact the museum at: Lambeth Palace Road, London SE1 7LB (071-261 1891).
