A production by the Hamp-

Hodgson Burnett’s, “The Secret
Garden”, is an enchanting story
about a young orphan girl, Mary
Lennox, who comes to live with
her uncle in the English coun-

and determination, Mary finds a
garden filled with memories, that
has been locked for years. Her
youth and enthusiasm breathe life
into each character she meets,

ily. With this heartfelt story, we
hope to share its message of
hope, healing, and friendship.
