PHILADELPHIA (CBS) - While our area has a gracious plenty of arboretums, Chanticleer, a pleasure garden in Wayne, PA, may be one of the most special.

Chanticleer seems perfectly sized - winding paths lead you along through the 48 acres, and let you get lost when you like, and an array of artfully handcrafted chairs are perfectly positioned for viewing the various vistas. Secrets spots in the woods, formal gardens that overwhelm you with color, combinations, and surprising ideas like a serpentine of waving grain - keep you amused, keep you guessing and keep you coming back.

And there's a new book about Chanticleer as companionable as the garden itself, more compact than many glossy garden tomes, and a format that makes the most of fabulous photographs of the gardens in every season.

Perfect on a bedside table, the book, Chanticleer, A Pleasure Garden, would be a great hostess gift when you're invited somewhere, or a dandy present for gardening dads on Father's Day.
