Ben Weatherstaff

To her surprise, the surly old weather-beaten face actually changed its expression. A slow smile spread over it and the gardener looked quite different.
Ben is an old gardener who works at the Cravens mansion. He is usually quiet but occasionally enjoys a visit from Mary or the red robin. Once he joins in on the secret of the secret garden he is overjoyed to be able to take care of it. He is a man with a big heart and a caring soul.
