It’s peak Wild garlic flowering time in my local green spaces, making a visit to my local park a culinary experience – the smell is so strong you can almost taste it in the air!

On Wednesday I went for a stroll through Cwm George woodland, a local hotspot for Wild garlic (or Ramsons, if you prefer; Allium ursinum), and it was just glorious.

The lush green swathes of Wild garlic, with their abundant brilliant white flowers, looked so picturesque carpeting the earth beneath the towering Beech trees and garlanding the edges of the woodland pathways.

And it wasn’t only the human visitors who were appreciating the profusion of flowers. Flies and bees of many species, hoverflies, butterflies and beetles were all lapping up this springtime feast.
