Lady Mary had no idea that her Aunt Lady Lily had died 10 years before giving birth to her first cousin Lord Colin Craven.

When she arrived at Misselthwaite Manor Lord Craven didn't want to see her at first and she was left to take care of herself.

Lady Mary started to explore Misselthwaite Manor and she found Lord Colin is his suite.

The second thing she did she started to explore the grounds of Misselthwaite Manor and while she was walking she met Dickon Sowerby and a robin lead her to her late Lily garden but the door was locked.

It was Ben the gardener that told her that her uncle Lord Archibald had the garden locked up after the death of her Lady Lily in 1900.

Somethings are meant to be and all of a sudden a gush of wind uncovered the garden key.

It was as the spirit of Lady Lily had lead her niece Lady Mary to her garden and with the help of Dickon.

Lady Mary and Dickon brought the garden back to life.
