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.

BRITS on the Mayle trail sometimes find themselves at the bottom of the gardening pile again when they face their parched Meditteranean patches. Conditions in Cheadle rarely match those in Provence. Yve Menzies lives near San Remo, on the Italian Riviera, but has gardened in Spain and the south of France. Her new book, Mediterranean Gardening (John Murray, pounds 15.95), is based on practical experience. Line drawings illustrate some of the unfamiliar plants in the extensive plant list.
