Synopsis

Mary Lennox is a selfish, spoiled ten-year-old whose life takes a turn for the worse after she is left orphaned in India. Forced to move in with her reclusive uncle in Yorkshire, she is lonely and miserable—until she discovers a secret garden that’s been locked away for years. As she tends to the dormant roses and overgrown vines, she soon finds that the flowers aren’t the only things that are beginning to bloom. Adapted from Frances Hodgson Burnett’s beloved children’s novel, this enchanting story explores the theme of finding your true nature where you least expect it.
