Wild Garlic or Ramsoms

Wild Garlic in Ashurst Woods

Of all the plants that carpet our woods, Ramsons are perhaps few people's favourite, but I like them and I welcome the pungent smell they give off and I like to pick a leaf and crush it to catch the smell.  They tend to favour wetter areas than the bluebells and here they take over from them and occupy a slope leading down to a stream and a very wet meadow.
