Default Wild Garlic??

...
At least I think that is what it is - certainly smells like it.

Somehow it has got into my garden and is spreading. I have dug up what I
can
but some is growing amongst mature shrubs or plants that I don't want to
disturb.

Any idea how I can rid of it?

Regards.

Glyphosate will see it off-but you would need to carefully treat the leaves
of the garlic and not get it on the shrubs.
A safer way is to slice of the leaves just below soil level and carry on
doing this each time it tries to resurface.
You must do something soon before the plant flowers and sets seed.
I actually like the stuff but I keep it in check by the second method.
