The Independent describes its work sending journalists to cover developing stories across political and social issues, emphasizing fact-checking and avoiding paywalls so reporting and analysis remain accessible. It also highlights a Windsor Castle garden project that will open to visitors from 16 July to 13 September. The garden, renamed the Venus Garden, is located beneath the royal residence’s east facade and is shaped by King Charles’s interest in natural patterns. An eight-year cycle traces Venus’s orbital path to create a geometric floral motif known as the Pentagram of Venus or the Rose of Venus. The design guides perennial beds and evergreen hedge-lined pathways, replacing the former East Terrace Garden established in the 1820s under George IV.
"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."
"A garden at Windsor Castle, reimagined under the King's personal vision and drawing inspiration from the planet Venus, is set to welcome visitors this summer. Renamed the Venus Garden, the space beneath the royal residence's famous east facade reflects Charles' deep interest in natural patterns. Traced over an eight-year cycle, Venus's orbital path forms a geometric floral pattern, often known as the Pentagram of Venus or the Rose of Venus."
"The motif has guided the layout of the new perennial beds and evergreen hedge-lined pathways within the former East Terrace Garden. The area was originally established as a garden in the 1820s during the reign of George IV. It will be accessible to the public from 16 July to 13 September. This has been a significant project to reshape this historic garden for the future, reflecting His Majesty's vision to create a space that will offer beauty, interest and biodiversity throughout the seasons and for generations to come."
