    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      The corridor leading to Colin Craven's (Heydon Prowse's) room and the interior of the room are decorated with tapestries depicting Edward VI, a sickly boy King who died young at the age of 16.
    • Goofs
      When Mary first meets Colin, as she enters his room, she is holding a oil lamp. The oil lamp, however, has a light bulb, not a wick and flame.
    • Quotes
      • [voiceover; last lines]
      • Mary: The spell was broken. My uncle learned to laugh, and I learned to cry. The secret garden is *always* open now. Open, and awake, and alive. If you look the right way, you can see that the *whole* world is a garden.
    • Alternate versions
      The digital streaming version is missing a line of dialogue near the end. Just before Mary runs away saying "No one wants me," Dickon's line "Mary, wait..." is absent.
