- 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 proceeds 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.
Stripes, dots, swirls, and vibrant colors; are you ready to take on Rex Begonias?
These finicky beauties require just the right amount of moisture, sun and humidity. Not too hot, not too cold. Not too bright, and it too sunny. And do not let water droplets stay on their sensitive foliage. You can say they are the Goldie Locks of the houseplant world.
Don’t let this plant's needs turn you away though, they are absolutely worth the work! Their foliage is even better than their bright pink blooms. What a show stopper🌸🌸🌸

#transplantedphotocontest ✨ Plants brighten up any room, but did you know they have tons of other benefits for your mental and physical health? The word "Biophilia" means "the innate human connection to nature". Biophilia implies that humans have a biological need for connecting with nature on physical, mental, and social levels. This connection affects our personal wellbeing, productivity, and societal relationships.
Plants help retain healthy humidity levels as well! All that water you are putting in those pots transpires somewhere right?! Plants are proven to increase and help maintain healthy humidity levels indoors which is vital during this pandemic. Increased dry air in offices and homes can make you more susceptible to colds and flu because your nasal passages are drier, which in turn will let more viruses in. Having more plants and higher humidity levels is just another way of keeping your indoor environment healthier- and prettier!
On the psychological side of things, having something to care for, absolutely increases our mood and ability to concentrate. Setting schedules for plant care motivates us, and these healthy habits can translate into many parts of our lives.

Do you add a top dressing to your plants? You should consider starting! Hete are a couple of our favorite top dressings and why we like to use them:
Spanish moss comes fresh or dried. It's great for retaining moisture around your plant, as well as covering up that plastic grow pot that the plant comes in.
Live sheet moss is one of our favorites because some plants can root right into it (try placing your succulent cuttings right on top of it). It does great in terrariums, and really helps retain moisture and humidity around your plants.
Pea stone and other gravels look clean and sharp, helping keep soil down when watering your plants. They can also help slow down evaporation of water from the soil by blocking out the sun and adding a nice layer of insulation.

Which do you prefer? The wacky ZZ or the neat Sansevieria?
Sansevieria and ZZ plants are completely different plants with similar levels of care. Both can handle low light and are happier to be on the drier side.
Both of these die-hard beauties will start to droop and turn yellow if they are overwatered due to root rot. Be aware that you do not want to completely desiccate these plants between waterings. This will weaken the root system so when it does get watered after severe drought, the roots are more likely to rot in their weaken state.
Both of these varieties have fun nickname 🐍👅♾ Sansevieria fernwood 'Mikado'. Snakes are commonly known as the Mother-in-laws tongue, but we never refer to OUR mothers-in-laws in this way. The Zamia zamioculcas' nick name is the eternity plant because they last FOREVER!!!

How is everyone's Norfolk Island Pines doing🌲
This plant makes a great year-round houseplant. Be sure to keep it humid, if you don't already mist your plants, we suggest you give it a try! If you have too many houseplants to mist, you can also put your humidity loving plants on a tray with pebbles and water!

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.
