For seasonal colour it’s hard to beat bulbs! Whether you prefer big and bold or small and dainty, add impact to garden displays in pots and borders right through the year by growing bulbs, corms, tubers and rhizomes. This beautiful illustrated talk moves through the gardening seasons highlighting bulbs at their best from the first buds of spring, through summer and autumn, and finishing with those hardy bulbs that provide welcome colour in the depths of winter, both outside and in your home. With a wealth of ideas and practical tips, Adam covers all the popular favourites, like tulips, dahlias and lilies, and introduces many more unfamiliar flowers from Trillium, Foxtail Lilies and Lachenalia to Summer Hyacinths, Pineapple Lilies and Snowflakes. Filled with ideas, growing information and fun facts, this talk is sure to inspire!

As a keen photographer, my talks are illustrated with beautiful plant and garden pictures and videos, many taken in my own Peterborough garden.

I now run my own company, Adam Pasco Media, as a writer and content provider, photographer, lecturer, and consultant to clients in the gardening industry. In addition to BBC Gardeners’ World, I have been Editor of Garden News, Garden Answers, BBC Easy Gardening and Waitrose Garden magazine.
I have twice been crowned 'Editor of the Year' by the British Society of Magazine Editors, and been awarded 'Practical Journalist of the Year' by the Garden Media Guild.
I've written a gardening column for The Daily Telegraph, and wrote and edited 'The Collins Complete Garden Manual', as well as contributions to many other books, magazines and web sites.
I've made guest appearances on Gardeners' World and Gardeners' Question Time, and over the years worked alongside a host of leading gardening celebrities on television, at events and gardening cruises including Alan Titchmarsh, Carol Klein, Monty Don, Geoff Hamilton, Rachel de Thame, Joe Swift, and a host of others.
Apart from gardening I'm in a ukulele band, play guitar, and love cooking and photography.
