Yes,but why would you? A lot of the flavour would get lost in the freezing. Left in an open container,garlic will store for months.

FREEZING GARLIC
Garlic can be frozen in a number of ways.
1. Chop the garlic, wrap it tightly in a plastic freezer bag or in plastic wrap, and freeze. To use, grate or break off the amount needed.
2. Freeze the garlic unpeeled and remove cloves as needed.
3. Peel the cloves and puree them with oil in a blender or food processor using 2 parts oil to 1 part garlic. The puree will stay soft enough in the freezer to scrape out parts to use in sautéing. Freeze this mixture immediately - do not store it at room temperature. The combination of the low-acid garlic, the exclusion of air (by mixing with oil), and room-temperature storage can support the growth of Clostridium botulinum.

You may be able to successfully freeze garlic by using a a dry freeze method, unfortunately, you cannot freeze garlic by the conventional method of placing it wrapped tightly in the freezer. The taste, consistancey & potencey will be ruined. Unless you have some pretty advaced kitchen appliences, I'd leave the processing to the pros.

I spend no more than half an hour every six months or so peeling 250g garlic as soon as I buy it, while it is still crisp and fresh. Press each clove with a knife to make it easier to peel. Then peel them, chop them up just a bit and put them through a blender with about 1/4 to 1/2 cup of olive oil. It makes a nice smooth mush which I then store in a jar with a good lid, and place in the freezer door for easy access. It can be prised out with a knife in suitable chunks quite easily and thaws in no time. There is absolutely no waste. Prior to trying this, most of my garlic went limp and started sending out shoots before I could use it.

You can freeze anything, but that doesn't mean it won't negatively effect the product when you take it out. You should not freeze garlic.

You can prep and freeze garlic (onions, too) but they will loose flavor and essential oils. They're so easy to peel and dice up (plus they smell good to me), that I personally would not want any "shortcuts."
