Gardening: Cuttings
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.TWENTY-ONE artists from Leicestershire's award-winning Society of Botanical Illustrators are showing their work in an exhibition that opens on Wednesday at the Museum of Garden History, London. All the paintings have been inspired by plants in the museum's own garden, buds, full-blown flowers, seeds and seedpods. The Museum, at Lambeth Palace Road, London SE1 7LB, is open Mon-Fri (10.30am-4pm) and Sunday (10.30am-5pm). The exhibition continues until 12 July.
THE COVENT Garden Flower Festival opens tomorrow and continues all next week, with giant floral mobiles in the north and south halls of Covent Garden Market, garden designs with new plants and products along the east and south piazzas. The centrepiece of the festival is the Performance Garden next to St Paul's Church. Flowers and plants cover the church as well as the stage, where there is a week-long programme of music, theatre and dance. Off the Wall Gardens features unusual ways to decorate vertical spaces.
