Need help identifying this plant

Hi all,
You were wonderfully helpful before so I thought I'd try again. Does anyone know what this perennial (?) is? It seems to have tiny white cluster flowers. I discovered them when we weeded the garden for the first time in many years so it's quite hardy. We just bought the house so I have no idea what is growing here. Thanks for your help!

Eck, not quite what I had in mind for a flower garden. Maybe I'll throw them in a soup some day. I'm sure you're both correct. I'm pregnant and I can promise you they smell awful :-) maybe they'll smell better in 9 months. Thanks again for the help!

My chives have purple flowers....

Didn't think they come in white? But googled to see that they do...

Garlic chives have white flowers. You can cut the leaves and use them in stir fries. I grow them for the kitchen.
