It is a lovely family movie (the 1993 film) about a young British girl (Mary) who loses her parents and moves from India to her Aunt's English Manor home. The stuffy home is not what she is used to but she takes to the beautiful gardens. One day out exploring she discovers a covered up door in the overgrown ivy and figures out how to open it (with the help of Dickon the grandson of the gardener) and discovers an old garden in disrepair. Together Mary and Dickon work to restore the garden to its beauty. Also, Mary discovers that she has a sickly cousin Colin who is shut up in the house. She be-friends him and eventually gets him to go out to see the garden. The housekeeper and nurses are horrified when they find out Colin has gone outside, but the garden ends up restoring his health.
The thematic statement of "The Secret Garden" revolves around the power of nature to heal and transform characters, as well as the importance of human connection and the effect it has on personal growth. Through nurturing relationships and the magic of nature, the characters experience emotional and physical renewal, leading to personal discovery and positive change.
Mary Lennox lives with her rich parents in India. No one has ever really cared for her; hardly anyone knows she is even there. One day a cholera epidemic breaks out and nearly everyone dies. Mary hides in the nursery and when she wakes up the next morning, there is no one left. She is sent to England where her uncle, Archibald Craven, lives. A woman called Medlock is sent to take her to the manor. Normally the 500 year old Misselthwaite Manor on the Yorkshire moors isn't a place for a child to grow up. There are about a thousand rooms, hundreds locked, so no one can go in. There is a big mystery about a secret garden that had been locked up ten years ago. A young housemaid called Martha has to look after Mary. First Mary doesn't like her much, but because Martha is so nice and funny she soon starts liking her. Martha gives her a skipping rope, so Mary can play in the many gardens of Misslethwaite Manor. In the gardens she meets Ben Weatherstaff, an old gardener, and his robin. The robin becomes Mary's first friend. He shows her the key to the secret garden and also the door hidden under thick ivy. As soon as she enters the garden, it becomes her own little mystic world. One day she hears cries and looks for the person (It isn't the first time she has heard it, but every time she wanted to look somebody stopped her and gave her some explanation). In a room behind a tapestry she finds a boy, Colin Craven, her cousin. He can't walk nor stand up, and everybody thinks that he's going to die. His father has never wanted to see him because he's so different from his dead mother. With Dickon, Martha's brother, and Mary he goes into the secret garden in a kind of a wheel chair, and learns to walk. They all say it's "Magic" that made all these wonders possible: Colin's walking, Mary's change into a nice girl and her joy in the secret garden.
