The Orchard is a grouping of fruit trees and berry patches located in a corner outside of Redwall Abbey. It is a favored area of meditation and rest for all residents of the Abbey, as well as a place where dibbuns enjoy playing and snacking. In addition, the Orchard contains a flowerbed, beechlogs, and sometimes an old upside-down wheelbarrow where creatures often sit and enjoy the sunrise or sunset. It is the place where dibbuns march to start Nameday. Smaller feasts, picnics, and firelit parties are occasionally held in the orchard.
The Orchard is lovingly tended by one of the Abbey Brothers and is the object of much envy and admiration by outsiders. General Ironbeak and his birds were especially attracted to the richness of the orchard and sought to conquer the Abbey to enjoy its bounty.
