The Secret Garden Playlist
This playlist moves from the hush and mystery of Misselthwaite Manor into the fresh air and patient renewal of the garden, reflecting Mary's and Colin's changing lives. Its instrumental pieces evoke the moors, hidden places, and gradual recovery, while the vocal songs touch on loneliness, childhood, friendship, and the restorative pull of nature.
