Gorrill Gardens

Gorrill Gardens is a park located next to the Trolberg wall, home to a secret community of Vittra, and an exiled family of Elves. It first appeared in the animated series, but remains unnamed. The name of the park is revealed in the Hilda Tie-In Series of books.

Above ground
Gorrill Gardens is a gated park near the Trolberg wall. It seems largely wooded, though the area near the wall is devoid of trees. Several common plants such as crabgrass, dandelions, and nettles are found in abundance in Gorrill Gardens, as is trash.

There is a crack in the wall where the rare Blue Nettle grows, surrounded by the village of the Bragga family of Elves. Several holes scattered throughout the park and the forest outside the wall lead into the underground portion. Many small animals such as rabbits and birds live here.

Underground
The underground half of Gorrill Gardens can be accessed through several large Vittra tunnels. At least two are known to exist, one in the park and one just outside of the wall. The underground half of Gorrill Gardens consists of a system of natural tunnels in the dirt, with roots crisscrossing the ceilings. The tunnels are too small for an adult human to fit in, but fit Hilda, Frida, and David. Many cavities in the walls have been made into homes for the Vittra, furnished and given doors.

The tunnels seem to act as a town for the Vittra, given the cavity-houses and the fact that many Vittra live there. The underground area is also home to rabbits, Rock-Chewing Slugs, and miniature cows, the latter acting as pets or livestock for the Vittra.

Chapter 4: The Sparrow Scouts
Hilda, Frida, and David come to shore up to earn their Friend of the Park badge. In doing so, they inadvertently disturb one of the hibernating Vittra and dig up several others, mistaking them for and putting them with the rest of the mulch. In retaliation, the Vittra steals Frida's sash, forcing Hilda to enter the tunnels and rescue her, collaborating with the Vittra in the process. Hilda and David then rescue several sleeping Vittra from the mulcher.

Chapter 5: The Troll Rock
A Female troll bypasses the wall by digging through the Vittra tunnels.

Chapter 7: The Lost Clan
Hilda, Frida, and David accidentally disturb the Bragga Family while here seeking plants for the botany badge. The elves take David hostage, and he remains here for the remainder of the episode. At the end of the episode, the elves host a feast for the protagonists.

Chapter 6: The Old Bells of Trolberg
At the star of the episode, the Sparrow Scouts are in the park to attempt to track the Woff during their annual migration- a nearby belltower seemingly rings randomly, begins to ring and upsets the Woffs. The Sparrow Scouts manage to push the Woffs back in the air.
