The Secret Garden
(A summary of Frances Hodgson Burnett’s The Secret Garden)
In this story, Mary Lennox, a spoiled and selfish 10-year-old girl goes to live with her uncle, Mr Craven, after her parents pass away. Her uncle has a huge house, but he is seldom there. Mary spends a lot of time alone and gets bored. At night she often hears crying coming from somewhere.
One day, Mary hears about a beautiful garden. It belonged to her uncle’s wife. After she died, the garden became a painful memory for him, so he locked it up. No one has seen it for ten years. One morning, Mary finds an old key. When it unlocks a half-hidden door, she discovers the secret garden inside! Unfortunately, nobody has taken care of the plants, and therefore, much of it is in a bad state.

Let’s enjoy a short clip of the movie and think about the following questions.
Who is your favourite character? Why?
Why do you think the book is named The Secret Garden?
What have you learnt from this story?
Why do you think this book is popular among many people?
Who is your favourite character? Why?
Why do you think the book is named The Secret Garden?
I like Mary best. She starts as a spoiled girl, but caring for the garden and friends makes her kind and responsible. I love her positive change.
The garden is the center of the story: it’s hidden for 10 years (a "secret") , and it’s the place that brings Mary, Colin and Dickon together.
It also helps the characters grow and heal—so it’s not just a garden, but a symbol of hope and change.
3. What have you learnt from this story?
4. Why do you think this book is popular among many people?
I’ve learnt that nature and friendship can bring healing and happiness. Also, being kind and hopeful (instead of being sad or selfish) can make us and the people around us better. Small changes (like caring for a garden) can lead to big, good results.
The story has a warm, happy change (from sadness to joy), which makes readers feel good.
It talks about universal things (friendship, hope, the power of nature) that people of all ages can relate to.
