Garlic is a crop that players can cultivate and harvest. It requires planting in the spring and takes four days to mature. Once harvested, it can be sold for profit, used as an ingredient in cooking recipes, or given as a gift to villagers who may or may not appreciate its pungent aroma. Additionally, it serves a role in the game's Community Center bundles, contributing to the overall progression and unlocking of new areas and features.
