Also known as wild garlic, this plant carpets the ground in areas of woodland across the UK giving off a distinctive odour of garlic. It has long, pointed leaves which have a garlic scent. The flowers are white in colour. The bulb of the plant can be used to create tonics to relieve rheumatic problems and lower cholesterol.
To be honest I love strolling through woodlands and smelling this beautiful plant. Walk along Cornish roads and in spring you get it’s heady scent. It is wonderful and pure.
