The real secret garden; the most famous garden in literature

The gardens at Great Maytham Hall are perhaps the most famous in literature. Strolling through the rose-filled walled gardens in the early 1900s, Frances Hodgson Burnett felt inspired by the thought of a secret garden; overgrown and waiting to be discovered ...

Follow in the footsteps of Frances Hodgson Burnett and her much-loved cast of characters with a stroll through this historic garden...

Such a beautiful garden! It planted a seed in a young reader's soul that later blossomed into a career in physical therapy. So grateful for the chance to see this garden.

Was sleepy sitting in the morning sun by our wisteria, fragrances of spring drifting about. Chanced to see this, started it with intention to stop in a few seconds and go in for a long nap. In another time it would be a wonderful book, even with no pictures, only evocative words. Continued instead, a wonderful garden.

Absolutely amazing, thank you very much for sharing! I read The Secret Garden when I was younger and only later watched the film. I am in love with the fascinating character of this little girl who brought its magic back to life and the whole story. I fell in love with the stunning sight of this lovely garden the first time I watched the film! I should visit the Great Maytham Hall soon as well <3

Beautiful garden, just what I thought of while reading the book.

[weatherwitchandfelinefamiliars]

Beautiful, utterly beautiful and the music is just perfect 😍

[justinlapid]

What a treat. Thank you for another garden walkthrough with amazing music as well. The score by Zbigniew Preisner ( from the secret garden film) is heavenly and so befitting of the gardens transformation from unkempt and neglected to brimming with life. Would have worked splendidly with this video as well 🙂
