Based on the 1911 novel by Frances Hodgson Burnett, "The Secret Garden" follows a young orphan girl named Mary, who is suddenly removed from her home in colonial India to Yorkshire, England, to live with her reclusive uncle in a lonely mansion shrouded in mysteries and secrets.
Left to her own devices in the huge house, Mary discovers a hidden, overgrown garden that once belonged to her uncle's deceased wife Lily. With the help of new friends, Mary learns that with tender care and love, even the saddest, most forsaken things can bloom and thrive again with full life and beauty.
