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.ANGUS WHITE of Architectural Plants is holding another of his Monster Autumn Sales which will continue until the end of February. He is offering 20 per cent off the price of any of his plants, and if you can't visit, he will send. White's catalogue remains the best designed, most interesting piece of horticultural exotica in the country. The plants are pretty good, too. He has the beautiful albizia with huge doubly pinnate leaves, five elegant kinds of cordyline, myrtles in quantity, strelitzia (the bird of paradise flower) and a dozen different yuccas. As the name of the nursery suggests, he is interested in the form of a plant more than its flowers. All the plants are colour coded. Red means danger - in terms of hardiness - but often maximum excitement in terms of the impact the plant will bring to a garden. There is an excellent new section at the back of the catalogue which suggests particular plants for a variety of different situations. The nursery, at Cooks Farm, Nuthurst, Horsham, West Sussex RH13 6LH (0403 891772) is open (9am-5pm) every day except Sunday.
