When Complex filmed Steph Curry for an episode of 360 With Speedy, they shot the conversation inside our former shop. That same eye for greenery, texture and a welcoming room guides our event work.

Complex · 360 With Speedy
Our job is simple: the plants show up on time, look great for the whole event, and disappear when it's over.
We work within your venue's move-in window and place every plant according to your floor plan.
Before doors open, we walk the room with you and adjust anything that doesn't look right.
When the event ends, we collect everything before your move-out deadline. There's nothing for you to store or return.
We're fully insured, and we send your venue whatever paperwork it needs without you having to ask twice.
We group our plants by what they do for a room, not by botanical name. Mix and match, and we'll help you put the look together.

We collect the plants within the agreed move-out window, so you can wrap up the event.
Trade shows, conferences, launches, and galas. We build booth packages, stage backdrops, and lounges that hold up across a multi-day event.
Plants that photograph well and hold up through weeks of showings. We deliver, place, and swap them out as your listings turn over.
Open houses, broker events, and model units. A tall tree at the entry changes how a home feels the moment the door opens.
We serve the greater Bay Area and much of Northern California. Delivery, installation, and pickup are arranged around your event.
