After she is orphaned, Mary moves to England to the home of her uncle, Archibald Craven, at Misselthwaite Manor. While there, Mary discovers a hidden garden that has been locked for years. With the help of some new friends, Mary begins to thrive as she cultivates the garden and watches it bloom. One night, Mary discovers a sick boy named Colin in a secret bedroom in the house, and the two children realize they are cousins.
