Craig Rybinski is the owner of Craig Rybinski Garden Design in Avondale and created all the horticultural aspects of the Tavern site, which include many historically accurate period trees and plants. He and his crew, with occasional assistance from the Penn State Master Gardeners program and some local residents have been the main force behind the Tavern's consistently beautiful look.
Many thanks go to Craig, for his time, effort and dedication to Martin's Tavern. His work has paid off handsomely! Congratulations!
