Forced to live with her uncle after the death of her parents Mary is initially rude and selfish until she stumbles upon the fenced off garden once maintained by her dead aunt. While attempting to return the garden to its former glory and with the help of her young friend Dickon and the gardener Ben Mary finds her own attitude softening. Her new refuge turns out not only to be her salvation but offers hope to her mourning uncle and her disabled cousin Colin.
