A sour orphaned girl sent to a shut-up Yorkshire house finds a walled garden locked for ten years and a bedridden boy who believes he is dying. She and a farm lad wake the garden, and the boy walks out of it.

Mistress Mary, quite contrary, How does your garden grow? With silver bells, and cockle shells, And marigolds all in a row.
The Secret Garden, Frances Hodgson Burnett
