Ireland, climate: Spring and Autumn, cold, rain, with some dry days in each month. Summer, highs of 18 to 25C a fairly even split between mild rainy and dry sunny days. Winter... lows of -6 to 0, rain and winter showers, there could easily be 30 straight days of rain in winter. :)
Trees, I live close to many spruce forests, and old forests with native trees, oak, ash, rowan, Scots pine, hazel, birch, willow, plus larch, fir, beech, sycamore and horse chestnut. Walking through woodland at this time of year is beautiful, there is a carpet of native Irish bluebells and wild garlic on the forest floor.

wild garlic?...that would be cool to live somewhere i could just go pick garlic, or is this wild garlic not for eating and just some plant similar to garlic?

Yes its edible, but just the leaves and flowers, nice in salads, soups, anything that garlic is normally used in, the taste is more subtle though, its related to the chive family.

Its the white flowered plant above.
