Secret Garden (PD, BBC Micro) Walkthrough

Solution (and game) by J. R. Ormond

NB: If you are playing a version of this game on another machine such as the 
Archimedes (not under BBC emulation), there are slight variations - in 
particular, the mazes are different although they have the same principles, and 
there are a few important extra objects; plus, you can use GET ALL and DROP ALL.

GET CAN, S, S, S, S, S, SE, E, N, NW, GET HAMMER, WATER PLANT (the weedkiller 
temporarily disables the plant), NE, BREAK WINDOW WITH HAMMER (the tin drops 
out), GET TIN

S, GET BROOM, W, THROW TIN AT PLANT (the plant's secretions dissolve the tin and 
the weedkiller destroys the plant), S, GET CASE (it can be used for storing 
objects so that you can carry more), E, GET LADDER, S, PUT LADDER AGAINST TREE

DROP CASE, DROP HAMMER, DROP CAN, SWEEP UP LEAVES, DROP BROOM, U, GET APPLE (the 
leaves prevent it breaking when it falls), D, GET APPLE, GET CASE, PUT APPLE IN 
CASE, GET LADDER, GET CAN, W

(The next part has a random element. EXAMINE NEPTUNE and note which ornament he 
points to, then TURN that ornament. Repeat these two actions three more times to 
get another treasure.)
