- our charitable offshoot.
TransPLANTed
Do you want to see what we’ll have at our next popup?
Community
The community of Boston has helped Cityscapes become a successful business, and this is one of the ways we are helping give back to the city and people that have been so good to us.
Vision
Armed with a vision to transform people’s lives through the power of plants, the TransPLANTed roaming greenhouse travels the streets of Boston, using plants to raise money for local charities.
Mission
Our mission is to connect people with nature, educate and grow more plant lovers while giving back to the community and spreading awareness about the amazing charities and organizations around Boston.
Plan
We park in a predetermined neighborhood of Boston and offer plant arrangements to be purchased, with all profits going to our charity of the month or a charity selected by any company we partner with.
If you see our truck, it is an opportunity to bring a little more nature into your life and simultaneously give back to your community.

The Celia pot is cute and personable, especially with her funky fern hair! While this Geo pot is perfect for really making those greens pop against those stark lines and pearly white finish.
Plants on the floor, plants on the table, plants on the wall🌿 Not much room left in this sunny space ☀️

The love doctor called, he diagnosed us with a broken heart, and prescribed us a pill terrarium💊🪴
Ha Ha so many plant puns, so little time🤣
Happy Valentines Day to all you plant lovers 💚
Did you receive a Hoya Heart this past Valentine's Day 💚 Though it may look like a succulent it's actually a blind cutting from a Hoya 'Kerrii', a climbing hoya native to South East Asia.
The heart breaking news about these cuttings is that it could take years to turn into the trailing and climbing hoya that we are all familiar with. For novelty's sake, nurseries propagate 'blind cuts' of the plant instead of 'stem cuts'. A small bit of the stem is needed in order to let the plant know that it needs to keep climbing.
No worries through, this cutie is hardy and adorable just as it is! It can handle less light than a succulent, and is just as drought tolerant. Enjoy those little Sweethearts 🌿

Everyone needs some fleeting blooms over the winter! Take a look at these mums, they landed at our parent company's warehouse, and aren't they tubular? 🌸🌊 Just like they're straight out of a Seuss book.

Ceramic succulents? Why not? Mixing live with other Biophilic elements can be a nice addition to your plant portfolio at home or office. Did you notice the staghorn fern propagating in the vintage glass bottle (a great flea market find)? It is rooting nicely and will be planted soon- it’s fun experimenting with propagating. You should try it yourself, cut some of your long vining plants and put in some water to root and BAM another baby plant you can add to your collection. Happy planting! #staghornfern #succlove #livingfernature #propagation
A couple of weeks ago, Park Lane residents helped us raise money for Rosie's Place, a shelter in the South End that helps women get back on their feet.
Rosie's place was the first women's shelter in the United States, founded in 1974. Through community and educational services, they not only provide food and shelter for women, but also abundant opportunity for growth and support.
Thank you Rosie's Place for supporting our community and helping transform people's lives. We are happy that plants were able to help your cause🌸

#transPLANTedPhotoContest 💚 Most colleges decided to not have Spring Break this year, we guess that's good news for all those dorm room plants🌿 If you can't fly down to the tropics for some partying, how about you party with the tropical plants you keep inside. We know Monsteras love to have a good time, they’re plant party animals!
Thank you for sharing your photo with us @jessreuning 📸

Did you know all of these sleeved up plants helped us raise money for @rosies_place? They were a part of a @cityscapes_boston PLANT DROP, where we set up a plant display in a residential lobby, and residents get to order plants from their phones. We packed everything up nicely and got the plants to the residents within the week, as with all TransPLANTed partnered events, our profits went to charity.
Thank you to all those new plant parents who helped us help our community🌿
Where will Cityscapes drop plants next?

All the snow has melted off Sprout’s greenhouse roof and it’s time to get ready for some warm weather☀️☀️☀️ You know what that means? Sprout popups!
Reach out to us as soon as you can, to learn about how to host a TransPLANTed event. We fill Sprout the plant truck with a whole bunch of cool plants, drive to your building, open our doors to your tenants, residents, peers and neighbors and let them shop away. Might we add that all of our profits go to charity? It's a win-win for everyone 🌷

Happy International Women’s Day from the TransPLANTed team✨🌿
Beyond our unwavering support of Boston area charities that uplift women, we wanted to remind you that we started as the bright idea from three women from the Goodman Family💃
Jan, the founder of Cityscapes, Jenn, her sister-in-law and right hand lady, as well as Jan’s oldest daughter, Sam, put together their creative and logistical minds to come up with Sprout! Magic happens when we support the ideas of our loved ones✨

Our pill terrariums are a great pop of color and they are so easy to plant!
🌱Unlike other terrariums with small openings, the pill has a removable top. Plants like fitonia, begonias and ferns do great in enclosed terrariums, just remember to open it once every couple of weeks to let in new air!
👀Keep an eye out for our next Sprout popup! With spring quickly approaching, we'll be back out in no time!

Happy St. Paddy's Day🍀🍀Just like St. Patrick rid Ireland of snakes, let's learn a little about ridding our plants of harmful pests🪳
🍀Take a look at our post about our aroma therapy plant care kits, you'll learn how a simple solution of rosemary oil, castile soap, and water can prevent and rid your plants of plenty of pests.
🍀Wipe the leaves of your bigger foliage plants like fiddle leaf fig and monstera. It not only improves photosynthesis, but it also helps wipe away any microscopic pests that may have latched on.
🍀If you have fungus gnats, let your top soil dry out and gently scoop away that top layer of soil. Do this quickly before they spread!
🍀Do you have scale on any plants? Grab a wet paper towel, spray your infested plant with the rosemary/ soap spray, mist throughly, wipe away all those nasty little scales. Give it another mist to prevent more from coming. If it's a really bad infestation and you love that plant, try a little organic Neem oil , it will suffocate any ones that you didn't remove!

It's Fern Friday! Let's chat about some of our favorite no-fuss ferns!
The Austral Gem Fern looks delicate, but is actually pretty tough considering other fern varieties. It can handle less water, and bounces back from neglect much easier than other ferns. As a bonus, it doesn't drop its foliage when it feeling stressed, unlike Boston Fern varieties that tend to shed.
Stag Horn Ferns needs a fair amount of light. They grow in the crooks of trees in the wild, that means they are much less shaded than other floor dwelling ferns. They also absorb most of the water from the fronds, so a good mist is always appreciated.
Birdsnest Ferns can tolerate lower light levels and like the Austral, it can handle drying out a bit. It also doesn't need as much humidity as other ferns. A bonus trait for Birdsnest Ferns is that they are nontoxic to pets and humans!

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.
