This morning, I had another lovely woodland walk with Belinda. Although there were some bluebells, this wood was all about the wild garlic. Carpets of bright white star shaped flowers with dark green foliage and that pungent garlic smell! It was a beautiful sight. The great thing about this plant is that it is edible - flowers and leaves. We both collected some to take home to use. I am going to make a wild garlic risotto for tea tonight!
Our walk was in Harridge Woods, which we visited this time last year - follow the label below. This wood is managed by Somerset Wildlife Trust, with pathways, interesting ruins, running water and it is only a few miles outside Shepton...
