Featured installation: San Francisco Bay Area
For a corporate leadership gathering, The Preserve coordinated an order itemizing 296 plants, plus separate special-order lots, across reception and hospitality spaces. See the outdoor bars, cocktail deck and indoor planting in this completed Bay Area project.
Complex filmed its conversation with Steph Curry in a plant-filled space selected by The Preserve. That same eye for scale, texture, and camera-ready detail guides every plant plan we create.

Beautiful plants, a clear handoff, and pickup arranged around your event. We confirm the receiving details with you before booking.
We plan around your venue's move-in window. Your proposal confirms the handoff point, indoor movement and placement responsibilities before booking.
We help you choose plants that suit the room and the look you want. Your team or venue handles placement; we confirm the receiving and collection points with you.
We arrange collection from the agreed pickup point within your confirmed window. The proposal makes clear who gathers the plants and returns them to the loading dock when required.
Fully insured, with COIs sent straight to your venue in whatever format it demands. Convention floors and corporate campuses are picky; we handle it.
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.

Delivering across
Dates, venue, booth or room number, and the look you want. A floor plan helps; a few inspiration photos are plenty if you don't have one.
Plant options, reference images and suggested placements, with planters included in each plant price and a separate one-time $500 non-taxable delivery charge.
We confirm your move-in window and the delivery handoff. Indoor placement and loading-dock responsibilities are agreed in your proposal.
Your team returns the plants to the agreed collection point. We pick them up in the confirmed window and bring them back into the rental rotation.
Multi-day shows at the Menino Convention & Exhibition Center and the Hynes. Booth packages, mainstage backdrops, and lounges built to survive a full exhibit run without a watering crew.
All-hands, launches, offsites, and holiday parties across the Seaport, Kendall Square, and the Route 128 corridor. Recurring calendars welcome — we keep your spec on file.
Activations, press days, launches, and pop-ups. You send the deck and the layout; we send a proposal with photos of the actual plants, not a mood board.
Plants that photograph well and hold through weeks of showings. We work your showing calendar, not a single event date.
We cover Boston, Cambridge, and the inner ring — from the Seaport and Back Bay across the Charles to Kendall Square, and west along Route 128 through Waltham and Burlington. Your plants are staged and acclimated in New England, so nothing travels further than it should before it reaches your venue.
Somewhere else in Greater Boston? Ask. We travel for the right event.
One plant palette, one consistent look, and one point of contact across the cities below.
The things Boston planners ask us most, so you can scope your event without waiting on an email.
Yes. We cover Boston end to end — the Seaport, Back Bay, downtown, the Fenway, and the South End — plus Cambridge and Somerville across the Charles, Brookline, Newton, and Quincy, and the Route 128 corridor through Waltham and Burlington. Wider Greater Boston is available by arrangement. Tell us your venue and we'll confirm same day.
The Thomas M. Menino Convention & Exhibition Center — the BCEC — in the Seaport; the Hynes in Back Bay; hotel ballrooms from the Westin Boston Seaport District and the Omni Boston Hotel at the Seaport to the Boston Marriott Copley Place, the Sheraton Boston, and the Fairmont Copley Plaza; the ICA, the MFA, the New England Aquarium, and the JFK Presidential Library; SoWa Power Station and the Cyclorama in the South End; Fenway Park and TD Garden; Encore Boston Harbor in Everett; and the Kendall Square and Route 128 campuses. Loading docks, freight elevators, and 5am load-ins are a normal part of our week.
Plant rental starts at a $3,000 minimum per event. Pricing is per plant for your agreed rental duration, with planters included. Delivery is a separate one-time $500 non-taxable charge. Longer rentals are quoted for the full period from drop-off through pickup. Your itemized proposal confirms plant selection, quantities, applicable plant-rental taxes, service responsibilities and the total before booking. Most Boston conference and activation builds land at $3,000–$12,000. Full-floor, multi-zone, and multi-city programs can scale beyond $100,000.
Four to six weeks is ideal, and larger builds want more. Boston's calendar clusters hard — the March convention run at the Menino Center, the spring and fall conference seasons, September's citywide weeks, and December's holiday parties in the hotel ballrooms — so booked-out dates gather there. We can often still take rush requests — ask and we'll tell you straight away what's possible for your date.
Yes — the BCEC, officially renamed the Thomas M. Menino Convention & Exhibition Center. Exhibitor freight moves through the loading docks rather than the public entrances, and anything beyond hand-carry goes through your show's general contractor — so we work dock-and-drayage rules at the Menino Center and coordinate with your GC and any labor the venue requires. Send us your exhibitor manual and booth number with your request and we'll build the quote around the real dock times rather than guessing. The Hynes in Back Bay works the same way.
Yes, if we choose for it. Boston's humid summer is closer to a greenhouse than a desert — from June into mid-September, tropicals like ficus genuinely enjoy being outside. The watch-outs are wind and the calendar: the Seaport sits exposed to the harbor and gusts come hard off the water, so open terraces get low, heavy, ballasted vessels and wind-firm material, and Mediterranean plants like olives are a beautiful weekend choice rather than a humid-season resident. Once nights slide toward 50°F the tropicals come indoors, outdoor looks shift to hardy evergreens, and winter deliveries travel sleeved and blanketed between the truck and your door. Tell us whether the space is covered, exposed, or on the water and we'll spec accordingly. We don't staff on-site watering during events, so this choice matters and we make it up front.
Yes, and they're some of our favorite jobs. Activations, press days, pop-ups, and launches in lofts, museums, and warehouse venues all work the same way: send the layout and the look, we send a proposal with photos of the actual plants. We provide event plant rentals, with delivery, indoor placement and pickup responsibilities confirmed in your proposal.
Live plants, their agreed planters, drop-off and event-agreed pickup. Your team or venue handles receiving, interior movement, placement and return to the agreed collection point. Setup, installation, custom-planter assembly and daily on-site care are not included. We confirm the handoff and who will receive and place the plants before booking.
Yes. We're fully insured for every event and provide Certificates of Insurance on request. Send us your venue's insurance requirements — most Boston convention and campus venues have specific limits and additional-insured language — and we'll handle the paperwork directly with them.
We swap it. Our material is sourced and staged in New England, so replacements can come from inside the region.
Full payment is due upon receipt of your invoice. Your approved proposal and invoice set out the payment terms and any agreed event-specific exceptions.
Yes. Stagers and listing agents are a real part of our business. The same per-plant pricing covers a single statement tree in an entry or greenery through a whole listing, and we work to your showing calendar rather than a single event date.
