Garlic is one herb that grows in nearly every gardening zone. In fact, it can survive in any climate up to and including zone 2. Regardless of where you live, if you want to add garlic, you need to find an undisturbed area with full sun. Some techniques for growing this herb include adding compost to your soil and giving plants one inch of water per week. About one-quarter of the top growth can be removed when growing.
