Summary: “The secret garden” in 300 words.

“The Secret Garden" by Frances Hodgson Burnett is a timeless
tale following the life of Mary Lennox - a young girl born in
colonial India but abandoned by her parents. When a cholera
outbreak claims her parents' lives, Mary is sent to live with her
uncle - Archibald Craven, at his remote estate in Yorkshire,
England. With loneliness and ruin, Mary discovers a neglected
garden hidden within the vast estate grounds. With the help of a
friendly robin and a local boy named Dickon, she sets out to
revive the garden. Along the way, she makes friend with her
sickly cousin – Colin who has been kept hidden away due to his
own illness and his father's grief over his mother's death. As they
tend the garden, they find healing and comfort in it, the garden’s
restoration parallels their own inner transformation, Mary’s sour
temper softens, and Colin regains his vitality. So, the beauty of
nature and efforts to bring change in their life. Their newfound
friendship and the magical healing power of the garden mend
broken relationships and revive hope in the manor. Finally, the
garden becomes a symbol of renewal, not just for the land but
for the spirits of those who tend to it. Mary, Colin, and Colin's
father find healing, love, and the joy of life amidst the once-
locked secrets of the garden. "The Secret Garden" is a
heartwarming story of resilience, friendship, and the
transformative power of nature.
