Welcome deeper into the Secret Garden
Every plant has a story to tell.
Hidden throughout the Secret Garden are ten little herbal friends, each inspired by a real herb and something special it has traditionally been known for. Through their adventures with Laney and friends, children discover nature, healthy habits, feelings, kindness, curiosity, and gentle ways to better understand themselves and the world around them.
