BRIDGEHAMPTON, NY - World class landscape designer and garden expert Louis Benech presented a slide show, "Watch and Work", one of his favorite projects, during a lecture at Marders in Bridgehampton Saturday morning.

Benech also signed copies of his book "Twelve French Gardens" for guests.

The renowned landscape designer has created more 300 garden and park projects, both public and private, stretching from Korea to Panama, Peru, Canada, the United States, Portugal, Greece and Morocco.

Also on display at Marders was his "Nara Collection" of outdoor furniture.

Guests agreed it was fortunate that the location was Marders: When shade was needed for the outdoor signing portion of the event, Silas Marder had a couple of trees brought out from stock to remedy the sunny situation.
