The Independent covers topics from reproductive rights and climate change to Big Tech while investigating political financing and producing documentaries such as 'The A Word' on American women fighting for reproductive rights. The outlet emphasizes sending reporters to report from both sides, remaining trusted across the political spectrum and avoiding paywalls so journalism stays available to everyone, funded by those who can afford it. In Marienfelde, Berlin, Martin Rotzel runs Monk Garden with 150–200 types of herbs, leaves and trees, supplying high-end restaurants, offering wild herb walks and workshops, and highlighting culinary and medicinal plant properties.
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.
In a secluded lot next to a former gasworks in suburban Berlin, Martin Rotzel is breathing new life into a tradition of centuries past: the monastery garden. Rotzel's Monk Garden is home to between 150 and 200 types of herbs, leaves and trees including many that are unlikely to be found at any German supermarket. There are numerous varieties of mint, oregano and cilantro, hyssop and New Zealand spinach, four-leaf sorrel, yarrow and a local variety of tarragon.
