Our Living Art team never ceases to amaze us🌿 They love to combine containers like this geometric terrarium and low brass bowl to create a truly sculptural piece of living art, not just your ordinary dish garden.

If only the work week went by as fast as a time-lapse. Obviously our team can't move this quickly 🐝 but our moss walls still go up surprisingly well in the midst of the hustle and bustle of construction.
It brings us joy and hope to see tech companies moving forward and continuing to create communal and collaborative work spaces💚🌿

More biophilic art! Biophilic design comes in many forms. From a resilient plant arrangement to naturally inspired, custom wall art.
We thought this honey comb art that illustrates the microscopic parts of our cells was so thought provoking🐝🧬 This plant bowl and art can be found in the lobby of a Cambridge based pharmaceutical company - Get your guests thinking as they walk into your space!

Tubular🌊 Hang ten in the little barrel shaped petals of this month's Flowering Rotation- Chrysanthemum Tanets, or Spoon Mums.
These wacky buds cover this plant, providing a much needed splash of color! This fairly new hybrid variation of mums comes from growers in the Netherlands, but their parent plant, the original mum, hails form China and Japan. It's amazing what botanists and horticulturalists can accomplish🌸

Who keeps their succulents outside in the summer? These babies grow so beautifully in that full outdoor sun.
Are yours getting lanky and leggy right now searching for light mid winter? Give them a second chance by pinching off that top bud and repotting it once we have more sun.
Remember, if you keep your succs outside in the summer, make sure they have ample drainage, or even better, remember to bring them under cover when rain is coming. A Summertime rainstorm will quickly overwater them! #succlove #succulents #succulentsofinstagram #powerofplants #summerscoming
Meet Cori an avid cactus lover. She recently attended one of our fun Stay Planted Virtual parties and she let us know how much she LOVES💚 cacti! Of course we had to ship her one straight away. We never miss the opportunity to GROW more plant lovers. Young or old everyone can benefit from the Power of Plants! Look at that smile- she named her Lila. Too cute! #cactus #plantsmakepeoplehappy #powerofplants #stayplanted
On a tired morning you probably wish you had planters like these to hide behind (at least until you've finished your first cup of coffee☕️)
Sure, the designers of this lab space could have built a wall here, but how else could you let in extra light and a more open feeling? Not to mention that the people inside that office now have a little more visual breathing room to help keep away screen fatigue. The addition of these tall planters and beyond-easy-to-care-for snake plants is a great compromise for the sake of privacy and open-office creativity.
Art can be biophilic too! Let’s take a look at this abstract expressionist painting.
Look at all those little shapes, with their hand painted look and repetition they start to mimic patterns we find in nature. This type of art is called a “natural analog.” Adding more elements like natural analogs, plants and naturally occurring materials to your space have many physiological and psychological benefits💚🌿

Who wouldn't want to (virtually) party with the JANIMAL 🥳🌿 You and your team can kick back and get those green thumbs moving, planting an artisanal arrangement all under the guidance of Cityscapes' founder, Jan! Trust us, there will be plenty of plant puns to drink to.
Want to tone down the party? We are offering these as morning coffee hours, or "lunch and leaves" too. Let us know how you want to connect with your team and peers, and we'll make it happen!

Happy Valentine's Day to all the love birds out there💚🌿
Are you expecting roses? Well at Cityscapes, we like to give out little Hoya 'Kerrii' cuttings, also known as Hoya Hearts. The popular holiday novelty is a blind cutting from a Hoya 'kerrii', a plant native to South East Asia. In nature, this plant loves to climb and blooms with the most interesting, geometrically shaped buds.

Thank you to all of the @ParkLaneSeaport residents who purchased plants during our inaugural Plant Drop! We were able to raise money for Rosie's Place to help houseless women in need, all while getting the #PowerOfPlants into more homes. Enjoy your new green companions!

What’s that pink tucked in there? Is that a flower? Or a very lost sea creature? It’s a bromeliad Aechmea Fasciata!
Bromeliads are extremely adaptable plants that hail from the tropics and subtropics of the Americas. Some fun members of the bromeliad family include Pineapple and tillandsias(commonly known as air plants!) Who knew🍍
Though their bright colored foliage looks like a flower, their buds are actually much less pretty, and tucked way inside that colorful rosette.

Oh, you know, just walking past a jungle on the way up to the office🌴Be sure to stop by those plants and "bond" with them like our purchaser Rob does. Some say stop and smell the roses, we say "Stop and ruffle those schefflera leaves!"
🏙🏙🏙
Stairways are a nice focal points in interior spaces. They give us the feeling of upward movement, connectivity and create architectural depth. They also generate room for more plants! What's great about a planting bed like this, is that its biophilic benefits can be enjoyed be everyone at ground level or those who are above it and looking down.

Hope your weekend is as dreamy as this moss wall✨🌿
This moss wall can be found in the wellness room of a pharma lab. What a great visual break for a lab tech’s eyes after looking through a microscope all day!

Testimonials
The best things about working at Cityscapes is the teamwork I experience daily, the relationships I have developed, and the fact that Cityscapes really cares about their employees. We also create an atmosphere together to improve our clients lives and our mission is to inspire and innovate with beautifully designed greenery.
Managing one of Boston’s more iconic buildings is no small feat. The responsibility of up-keeping greenery that is as beautiful as the architecture around us is huge. Having Cityscapes come and design our planting beds and maintain our greenery inside and out, has made my life a breeze. I know I can count on them to perform up to my standards, while keeping everything fresh and innovative.
Brookview serves mothers and children experiencing a grueling and challenging circumstance–homelessness. Jan Goodman and her Cityscapes volunteers always lift our spirits, and make our days delightful and enjoyable. Whether they are working with the moms and kids making crafts and decorations for holidays, planting a vegetable garden, or doing exterior landscaping–their creativity elicits laughter, brings joy to our hearts, and welcomes us home. We always look forward to spending time with the Cityscapes team.
