Netflix, RHS Launch 'Thursday Murder Club' Trail Across UK Gardens

The launch of the film adaptation of Richard Osman's bestselling cosy crime novel, The Thursday Murder Club, is being celebrated with a unique collaboration between Netflix and the Royal Horticultural Society (RHS). This August, five RHS gardens across the UK, including RHS Garden Bridgewater in Salford, will host immersive experiences combining crime-solving activities with horticultural displays inspired by the film. Visitors can enjoy themed scavenger hunts, interactive floral billboards, and special events such as a murder mystery afternoon tea at RHS Wisley in Surrey. Meanwhile, in Leicestershire, the Goodson family is diversifying their farm by transforming a non-productive field into a natural burial ground, promoting environmental stewardship with increased biodiversity through tree planting and wildlife habitat creation. This initiative reflects broader challenges and adaptations faced by farmers seeking sustainable income sources amidst changing agricultural conditions. Other farming and nature-related stories include Yorkshire shepherdess Amanda Owen engaging in foraging education, and a critique of moorland mismanagement in Yorkshire published by retired biology teacher David Robson, highlighting environmental concerns in upland areas.
