Can you grow your own Wild Garlic?

Wild garlic thrives in well-drained soil, rich in organic matter, with a pH of 6-7 and full sun. However, it will grow in almost all soil types. Full sun or partial shade suits the plant equally well, and although they are tolerant of drought, don’t plant them in very dry places to give them the best chance of growth.

The Last Preserve stocks a huge range of products for home preserving, if you are looking to go pick your own wild garlic, be sure to shop for the correct preserving items during your making process.
