Television, video & radio presenter, writer, photographer & public speaker.
Life-long gardening enthusiast, horticulturist by trade and communicator by profession Adam
carries with him the sort of wealth of knowledge and depth of expertise that comes from being a
hands-on person.
Adam takes great care to communicate his passion and knowledge in a manner that is
approachable, accessible and inclusive. He’s also never afraid to have a bit of a laugh along the
way, his maxim saying it all…“keeping gardening real!”
Adam’s emphasis is on the lifestyle and sustainable angles of gardening, he believes that a home
garden can and should be beautiful, functional, practical and environmentally sound.
Adam has studied Horticulture, Landscape and Media & Communications. This academic
background melded with over two decades of experience across a diverse range of fields in the
media and garden lifestyle & horticultural sectors gives him a unique balance of skills.
Since early 2010 Adam has operated his own specialised communications business with his
editorial and photographic work appearing in quality magazines such as Better Homes &
Gardens, Gardening Australia and Burke’s Backyard to name a few. He has also worked with a
number of major gardening industry companies on marketing and communication projects.
In Autumn 2012 Adam made his debut television appearance as the New South Wales
horticultural and garden lifestyle presenter on the popular nationally broadcast gardening
programme The Garden Gurus.
From its first episode in September 2008 Adam has been the gardening host on the nationally
syndicated weekly Better Homes & Gardens Radio Show. Anchored by Johanna Griggs and Ed
‘Fast-Ed‘ Halmagyi the show is listened to every week by nearly 1/2 a million people on 70
stations around the country making it one of the top-five syndicated commercial programmes in
Australia. He has also been done guest garden segments on Sydney’s Radio 2GB.
In 2009 Adam’s peak industry body, The Horticultural Media Association (HMA), awarded him the
accolade of ‘Excellence in Radio Presentation’ for his work on the Better Homes & Gardens
Radio Show.
Since its launch in late 2012 Adam has been the Product Ambassador and Horticultural
Consultant for the new Australian bio-fertiliser UltraBoost+6 from The Good Earth Company.
Adam has voiced radio advertising campaigns for major companies such as Lindeman’s Wines
and Osmocote/Scott’s Australia.

well over 100,000 unique views from around the globe.
