Paul Steinbeiser, who is hosting this event, specializes in native landscape design and custom stonework, and will be available for consultations and discussions about embracing concepts of sustainability to create a healthy landscape environment using native plants in organic and whimsical natural designs.
In keeping with his love of beauty, history, and sustainability, Steinbeiser is a believer in restoration and preservation of old structures, such as the reclaimed “Hannah Shaw” wagon house, Circa 1830-1840, originally from Princeton, New Jersey, which he had relocated and restored. His own home and other outbuildings are based on a 1780’s Delaware Valley farmhouse in which he used reclaimed beams, flooring and other materials saved over the years.
HoBART 2021 is part of a collaborative effort by River Arts Creatives, a collective of arts organizations, galleries, and businesses celebrating and promoting art and creativity in the Delaware River towns.
