Cityscapes

What Cityscapes does

Cityscapes Plant Care LLC is a Boston-based, women-owned commercial plantscaping company founded in 1992, self-described as the largest interior and exterior landscape firm in New England. It designs, installs, and maintains indoor plant displays, exterior plantings, and a portfolio of biophilic-design products for commercial property managers, hospitality venues (Fairmont Copley Plaza, InterContinental Boston, Park Plaza, Lenox, Seaport properties), Class A office landlords (Boston Properties, Brookfield, Oxford, JLL, Tishman Speyer), and enterprise tenants (Liberty Mutual, MassMutual, One Federal). The product portfolio spans recurring interior plantscape services, seasonal exterior landscaping with rotation, trademarked Living Walls built with metal frameworks holding interchangeable containerized plants, low-maintenance Preserved Moss Walls used as biophilic art and signage, Living Fernature™ furniture with integrated live plants, and seasonally rotated Holiday Décor installations with storage services. Underlying technology is primarily craft-based horticultural (customizable modular living-wall systems, preserved-moss processing, locally fabricated furniture) rather than software-based.

The firm monetizes primarily through annual maintenance subscriptions and project-based installations priced via complimentary onsite consultations, with holiday décor available under seasonal lease or purchase terms that include installation and storage. Revenue also flows from a consumer layer via the Sprout brick-and-mortar plant shop at 100 Summer Street, a mobile retail arm through the TransPLANTed Roaming Greenhouse (community events, plant parties, workshops, and charitable giving), and biophilic design consulting for architects and interior designers. The go-to-market motion blends enterprise field sales into commercial property managers, architects, and hotel operators with event-driven outreach. Sustained credibility is supported by a multi-decade award track record from AmericanHort, I-Plants, Plantscape Industry Alliance, ALCA, and Interiorscape Magazine, a sustainability program reporting 90% landfill diversion with waste-to-energy and grow-pot recycling, and a team of approximately 92 including design, operations, finance, warehouse, living-wall, exterior, interior horticulture, and TransPLANTed/Sprout functions, overseen by founder/owner Janice Goodman alongside a VP of Sales & Operations and VP of Finance & Administration.
