Adapted from the classic novel by Frances Hodgson Burnett
written and directed by James Cougar Canfield

Mary Lennox is a brat. She’s spoiled, loud, and too smart for her own good. After she is orphaned due to a devastating plague, Mary is sent to live in her estranged uncle’s spooky house, Misselthwaite Manor. Surrounded by strangers and terribly alone- Mary must learn to adapt to her new home, and possibly a banshee or two that haunts it.


Mary discovers that there is a mysterious, hidden garden locked away. And, well, Mary is used to getting what she wants… so she begins a mission to find her secret garden, and unlock the mysteries of Misselthwaite Manor. Maybe along her way she’ll make a few new friends, heal a few wounds, and discover a new part of herself: like her garden, sometimes people just need a little love and care to blossom into something fantastic.
