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.Gardens to visit this weekend include the Wildlife Garden at the Natural History Museum, Cromwell Road, London SW7, which opens for the National Gardens Scheme today (12-5pm); admission by donation. Set up in 1995, the garden is made up of different habitats representing deciduous woodland, heathland, meadow and ponds.
More than 2,000 species of plant, bird and insect life are happily settled in this central London oasis, a demonstration of the important part that urban gardens have to play in conserving wildlife. Open both today and tomorrow (10am-3pm), admission £2.50, is the award-winning two-acre garden at Trinity Hospice, 30 Clapham Common North Side, London SE4.
The gardens play an important role in the life of the hospice, but the peace and tranquillity they offer are equally therapeutic for visitors. Restored, towards the end of his life, by the celebrated designer, Lanning Roper.
