After the death of her parents, Mary Lennox is brought back from India as a forlorn and unwanted child to live in her uncle's great lonely manor house on the Yorkshire moors. She is miserable and disagreeable, until she becomes friendly with a local boy, Dickon, and they discover a long neglected secret garden. She shares her newfound love of life with her invalid cousin, Colin, and together the three children restore the garden to its former glory. Between them they work their magic on the garden, and in turn the garden works its magic on the children and everyone around them.
