We've been growing garlic on the Isle of Wight ever since Granny Norah planted those first few cloves in her garden over 50 years ago. We have spent all the years since exploring its history and origins, experimenting with the many different varieties here on "the Island" and creating many garlic infused products from chutney to beer and ice cream.

It is easy for any gardener to grow good garlic. It grows well over most of the UK, provided it is grown in a free-draining soil that is not too acid (pH levels should be over 6.7), and the bulbs should be kept well watered and weed free. We have a range of Softneck and Hardneck varieties. Softneck garlic is easier to grow, produces plenty of gloves and stores well. Hardneck produces fewer but larger cloves and has a shorter shelf life as the skin is thinner.

Growing garlic is simple and harvesting fresh cloves at home can be so rewarding. Garlic is one of the oldest known and widely used food flavourings as it has been used for both food flavouring and medicinal purposes since ancient times. Garlic is believed to be a native of central Asia, South Asia or southwestern Siberia and descended from Allium longicuspis, a wild strain of Asian garlic. All of our garlic bulbs are certified as disease and virus free.
