What to feed my snake ?

Welcome to the forum.
Here's a link to the care sheet which will answer many of your question.
Can you tell us which part of the country you are from?
This way we might be able to tell you which garter snake species you have.
Is this a store bought snake or a wild caught?
Real, safe fish and alive night crawlers/worms are the way to go if you don't want to feed frozen/thawed mice. The care sheet will also give you some ideas.
Looking forward to seeing a photo of your snake.
Why did you get a garter snake? Great idea but want lead you to this decision?

I actually live in the UK and garter snakes are not wild here , i bought it from a store and i have no idea if its wild or captive bred (i hope its CB)..

I decided to get the garter snake because it was a small snake and i didnt really want to go for a cornsnake or other of the "small" breeds/species ,
and they are really nice snakes in general

I know how to care for snakes and everything and have worked with cornsnakes before , I do a full time college course on animal care / welfare
and reptiles have always been my fav type of animals ..

i was just looking for advise on feeding , its not that i wouldnt feed a dead mouse to a snake BUT i dont think its right to feed a dead baby mouse that has never had the chance too even walk ...

Not to sound cold or inhuman, but that young, they don't even know to miss "walking" or much of anything else.
