Synopsis
In this abridged adaptation of the classic novel, a lonely orphan discovers the wonders of a mysterious garden and befriends her invalid cousin.

This is a classic about spoiled 9-year-old Mary Lennox, who finds herself suddenly orphaned and sent to live with her self-absorbed uncle on his huge estate in Yorkshire. She meets the cheerful Dickon, a boy who can charm wild animals, and Colin, the invalid son of her uncle, who is just as spoiled as Mary. After Mary discovers a walled garden that had not been taken care of for 10 years, the children immerse themselves in tending it, and through the joy of nurturing living things, grow in health and good spirits themselves.

Mary soon begins transforming it into a thing of beauty--unaware that she is changing too.But Missalthwaite hides another secret, as Mary discovers one night. High in a dark room, away from the rest of the house, lies her young cousin Colin, who believes he is an incurable invalid, destined to die young. His tantrums are so frightful, no one can reason with him. If only, Mary hopes, she can get Colin to love the secret garden as much as she does, its magic wil work wonders on him.
