The secret garden — Chapter Four The Robin and the gardener
"What is this place?" asked Mary.
"It"s one of the kitchen gardens," said the old man.
Mary saw that there was another green door in an opposite wall. "Where does that door lead to?" she asked.
"Another one of the kitchen gardens."
"Can I look into it?"
"If you like. But there"s nothing to see," said the man.
Mary went into the second green door. This garden had walls around it, also. There were winter vegetables growing out of the ground, such as potatoes and carrots. Mary saw another green door. She hoped the door would not open, because that would mean she had found the mysterious garden. But the door opened immediately. Mary went into the third walled garden, which was an orchard with many fruit trees. She looked around for another door. There was none. Mary looked at one corner of the orchard"s wall. She saw the tops of trees on the other side of the wall. It was as if there was another garden on the other side. Was it the mysterious garden? What was on the other side of the wall? Where was the door?
