Rebuilding Together NYC
Sam Burt Houses Landscaping Project
The Sam Burt Houses are a low-income housing co-op in Coney Island that were hit hard by Hurricane Sandy, but have received little to no assistance for recovery. Rebuilding Together NYC worked with dozens of volunteers to revitalize the grounds of the Sam Burt Houses. The professional landscape design by Josie Lawlor of Lawlor Mapping and Design features native plants, providing a beautiful and sustainable improvement to this coastal community. This project was made possible by generous donations and discounts from Green Belt Native Plant Center and Bissett Nursery.
