Garden of Youth

The Garden of Youth (or simply, the Garden) was an isolated orchard enclosed by walls that was broken by a single pair of solid golden gates. On these gates was carved a warning not to pluck and eat the Garden's apples but to instead take them to feed others. The Garden was believed to have been located near the Western March of the Kingdom of Narnia, possibly in the Western Wild, on the crest of a green hill. Much about the Garden remains a mystery, especially the fact that it was only ever known to be explored in Narnian-year 1 and was otherwise absent throughout the rest of Narnia's history.

In the center of the Garden stood an enormous silver apple tree, the Tree of Youth, in whose branches roosted a lone phoenix, the apparent guardian of the Garden.

The only two people known to ever visit the Garden were Digory Kirke from Earth and Jadis from Charn. Each took an apple from the Tree of Youth; Jadis took the fruit and ate it for personal gain. Digory on the other hand took it only at the request of Aslan, although he was greatly tempted to return home to save his mothers life with the fruit.

The apple that Digory plucked was later planted in Narnia where it grew into an adult tree in a matter of minutes. Aslan stated that this tree would prevent the return of Jadis as long as it flourished.
