Sounds lovely. I’m not sure, though, that I’d know wild garlic if I stepped on it. (I’m plant ignorant.). What does it look like?
Thanks,

Thanks for the reminder! There’s a massive patch that grows near me. I’ll be going to get some this week0

Reminds me of when I was a student doing my Teaching Practice. A child brought in some unknown (to me) flowers for the Nature Table. The next morning I opened the classroom door and was nearly knocked backward by the stench. There was no doubt then what the flowers were.
I love garlic, but that morning over 60 years ago is etched on my olfactory nerves to this day.I believe that friends are quiet angels

Going to be super stupid here as I have never even seen or smelt a wild garlic plant.
Do you use just the leaf and if so how much do you snip off.
and can you use/or not use any other part of the plant - say it's base or the flowers.“You’re only here for a short visit.
Don’t hurry, don't worry and be sure to smell the flowers along the way.”Walter Hagen
