greenscape
Lush outdoor view
Greenscape refers to an area dominated by vegetation, plants, and natural elements—the green equivalent of a landscape.
Urban planners use it to describe parks, gardens, and planted areas within developed environments: The city invested in greenscapes to offset concrete sprawl.
As a verb, to greenscape is to add vegetation to a space: They greenscaped the rooftop with native plants.
