The best way to do it is find someone who is growing TGS. there’s a behind-the-scenes movement for this that seems to be slowly growing.
You live in India, right? If so I don’t think any of the sources I know of will be helpful at all. You’ll have to find local people who are doing this.
Probably a locally based permaculture forum would be your best bet.
You’re looking for garlic which was grown from the seeds produced by the actual flowers of the plant, not the bulbs (growing in the dirt) or the bulbils (which come out at the top of the plant where you’d expect to find a flower, and which often crowd out flowers and prevent true seeds from forming).
True garlic seed looks like onion seed, small and black, not a white or purple clove of garlic. It needs special treatment in order to harvest and germinate.
What I planted are bulbs (what people normally plant when they plant garlic) which have either produced true seed, were grown from true seed, or which are from a variety known to produce true seed.

Ah so you planted the bulb that came from a true seed, I’ll try and find someone with either the bulbs or true seeds
So when your garlic is ready to be harvested, can you save some bulbs for next plantation or does your harvest needs to produce seeds ?
What I mean is does the new bulbs still considered as “true seeds” if you keep growing them from bulbs or you have to switch to actual seeds from time to time ?
I’m in North America for now , so will try and find it locally
Thanks
