With its fresh garlicky smell wild garlic (also called ramps or ramsons) has an unmistakable scent in woodlands and forests in the spring months. Preferring to grow in shady and damp conditions, the wild garlic season begins in late winter and lasts until the end of spring. You might consider foraging for them or seek out a farmers’ market that may sell them. Ramps are definitely a seasonal delight.
