This is a good question and I’m not sure, but I wonder if half chives and half garlic bulbs would do?

Garlic chives might do

thank you. Would chives or scallions be better?

Scallions have a bulb the would add to the bulk and I think are stronger tasting. Chives are a different plant entirely and have a bit of a different flavor that will get you further from the original recipe using garlic scapes. My preference would be to use either scallions or green onions.

Would change the flavor a bit, but you are making a pesto and need some green bulk... how about using scallions or green onions and a couple of crushed or grated garlic cloves.

This is a good idea, maybe a few scallion greens and a few garlic cloves?
