Berry Patch Pals
Tucked beyond the wildflowers, where the ferns grow tall and strawberries seem to turn up in the most unexpected places, is a tiny village called Berry Patch. It’s home to frogs, foxes, ducks, turtles, mushrooms — and a few creatures nobody quite knows how they got there.
Life in the Patch isn’t particularly hurried. There are berries to pick, treasures to collect, letters to deliver, things to make, ponds to sit beside, and friends who somehow always know when you need them. Everyone here is a little different: some are brave, some are shy, some can’t sit still — and some, like Tilly, would very much like everyone else to stop rushing.
There’s always room in the Patch for one more friend.
Places in the Patch
🍓
The Strawberry Patch
The heart of the village. Everyone passes through eventually — berries grow here, picnics happen here, arguments get forgotten here, and it’s where Pals naturally bump into each other.
🍄
Fungie’s Mushroom Nook
A cozy corner beneath the mushrooms, where Fungie keeps paper, envelopes, interesting things he’s found and letters from around the Patch. The home of Letters from the Patch.
🌼
The Wildflower Meadow
Wildflowers, bees, butterflies, long grass and tiny paths — where the adventurous Pals wander, and Rowan finds things everyone else walked straight past.
🫧
Tilly’s Pond
The quietest corner of Berry Patch. Pals come here when they want peace, advice, or absolutely nothing at all.
🧺
The Making Garden
Where Pals gather to make things for one another — beads, bouquets, charms, and things nobody has invented yet.
🏡
The Adoption Cottage
Near the edge of Berry Patch, where journeys begin. Pals don’t get bought here — they meet their people. Inside is a wall of all the Pals who’ve gone Beyond the Patch.
