No, ‘The Secret Garden’ is not based on a true story. It is a work of fiction written by Frances Hodgson Burnett. The novel was first published in 1911 and has since become a classic of English children’s literature. The story revolves around a young girl named Mary Lennox, who discovers a hidden, neglected garden on her uncle’s estate. Through her efforts to restore the garden, she also heals herself and those around her. While the characters and events are fictional, the themes of growth, renewal, and the healing power of nature resonate deeply with readers.
