  Thank you for flagging this up @Fire. Will try to get kids into bed so I can watch. Fergus' advice is worth its weight in gold and I love visiting to Dixter, though it's been a while.

  It's so much information and given straight from the heart. The other lectures are online to watch. I particularly loved the one on biodiversity at Dixter. So very inspiring. If you are having a low day any time, go and watch that vid. More on their biodiversity audit here.

  On 13th Nov Fergus is giving a lecture on "Working with bulbs". Online.
  

  I did a bulb workshop at Dixter some years ago and it was really great.
  

  This is online event is certainly worth attending.
