Plant rentals for events · New York City
Beautiful plants for your New York City event. We handle the rest.
We rent plants for conferences, trade shows, launches, and corporate events across New York City's five boroughs. Your plants are sourced and staged in the Northeast, delivered and installed by our crew — fresh, event-ready, and styled by The Preserve, whose work has framed events for Meta, Hyundai, KPMG, and Reuters.

From reception to the bar.
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.
As seen on Complex
A setting that held the frame.
Complex filmed its conversation with Steph Curry in a plant-filled space styled by The Preserve. That same eye for scale, texture, and camera-ready detail guides every plant plan we create.

Full service, start to finish
What we take care of.
Your job is to tell us the room and the look. Ours is that the plants show up on time, hold up all week, and leave inside your venue's move-out window.
No. 1
Delivery & install
We plan around dock appointments, freight elevators, building security, and early calls, then place every plant to your floor plan.
No. 2
On-site styling
Before doors open we walk the room with you and move anything that is not sitting right. Rooms always read differently once they are built.
No. 3
Pickup & teardown
We collect everything inside your strike window. Nothing to store, nothing to return, and nothing left for your venue or production team.
No. 4
Insured & papered
Fully insured, with COIs prepared to your venue's requirements. New York buildings are exacting about access and paperwork; we plan for both.
The collections
Organized the way you plan a space.
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.

Convention floors, cultural institutions, landmark rooms, waterfront halls, lofts, and corporate towers. If your venue is not here, it can still work — ask.

The process
How it works, in four steps.
Tell us about the space
Dates, venue, booth or room number, and the look you want. A floor plan helps; for Javits, include the exhibitor manual and appointed contractor if you have them.
Get a proposal
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 install & style
Our crew works the approved move-in window and fine-tunes the room with you before doors open.
We pick everything up
We strike and haul everything out inside the approved move-out window. The plants go back into rotation, not a dumpster.
Who we serve
Who we work with in New York City.
Conference & Trade Show Planners
Multi-day shows at Javits. Booth packages, mainstage backdrops, and lounges designed for a full exhibit run and the venue's real move-in rules.
Corporate, Finance & Tech Event Teams
All-hands, leadership meetings, launches, and holiday events from Hudson Yards and Midtown to Flatiron and the Financial District.
Brand & Agency Teams
Activations, press days, fashion-week programs, launches, and pop-ups. You send the deck and layout; we translate them into a plant plan that fits the room.
Stagers & Listing Agents
Plants that photograph well and hold through weeks of showings. We work your building access and showing calendar, not a single event date.

Good to know
New York City questions.
The things planners ask us most, so you can scope your New York event without waiting on an email.
Do you serve all five boroughs?
Yes. We serve Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx, and Staten Island. Most requests center on Manhattan, the Brooklyn waterfront, and Long Island City; for any venue, we confirm the loading plan, travel window, and scope before quoting. This page does not promise service outside New York City.
Which New York City venues do you deliver to?
We scope events for the Javits Center; Hudson Yards and west-side rooms including The Shed and Convene at 30 Hudson Yards; Chelsea Piers, the Altman Building, and Metropolitan Pavilion; landmark Manhattan rooms and museums; downtown spaces from Brookfield Place to the Financial District; Brooklyn venues including Duggal Greenhouse, Brooklyn Museum, and Weylin; and Long Island City rooms including The Foundry and Museum of the Moving Image. Send the venue and date and we will confirm access before proposing.
How much does event plant rental cost in New York City?
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 New York City conference and activation builds land at $3,000–$12,000. Full-floor, multi-zone, and multi-city programs can scale beyond $100,000.
How far ahead should I book a New York City event?
Four to six weeks is ideal, and larger builds want more. Dates tighten around major Javits runs, spring and fall conference calendars, fashion-week programs, and the holiday-event season. Rush requests can still be possible; send the date, venue, and approximate scope and we will tell you what is realistic.
Can you work at the Javits Center?
Yes, subject to the rules for your event and the facility. Javits has exhibit halls, meeting rooms, the River Pavilion, and North Javits event spaces, and its policies reserve some work for facility employees. Send the exhibitor manual, booth number, appointed contractor, and move-in instructions; we will shape delivery and placement around the approved access plan instead of guessing.
Our event is outdoors — will the plants hold up in New York weather?
They can, if the plant list matches the season and exposure. Summer heat, reflected sun, and waterfront wind need a different mix from a sheltered terrace; winter cold can rule out tender tropicals outdoors altogether. Tell us whether the space is covered, how long it runs, and when guests arrive. We will recommend interior placement, hardy seasonal material, or a protected outdoor plan as conditions require. We do not staff on-site watering during events.
Do you do brand activations, launches, and production work?
Yes. Activations, press days, fashion-week programs, pop-ups, and launches in Manhattan lofts, Brooklyn warehouses, and Long Island City production rooms follow the same process: send the deck, floor plan, and access notes, and we will build a proposal around the real room. We rent and install plants and planters; scenic construction stays with your production team.
What does full service include?
Delivery, installation and styling to your floor plan, a walk-through with you before doors open, then full teardown and pickup inside the approved strike window. You never lift, store, or return anything. The one thing we do not do is stay on site to water during your event, so we choose and prep plants for the full rental.
Are you insured? Can you provide a COI for my New York venue?
Yes. We are fully insured for every event and provide Certificates of Insurance on request. Send the venue's limits, additional-insured wording, and deadline with your inquiry. New York convention centers, museums, towers, and waterfront venues often have their own forms and access requirements, so earlier is better.
What if a plant gets damaged during my event?
Tell us as soon as it happens. We stage material in the Northeast and plan backup stock for larger builds; replacement timing depends on the plant, borough, venue access, and whether the event is still inside an approved service window. We will give you the fastest realistic option.
How do deposits and payment work?
Full payment is due 10 calendar days before your confirmed drop-off date. Your approved proposal and invoice set out the payment deadline and any agreed event-specific exceptions. We confirm the scope and terms before you book.
Do you rent plants for home staging in New York City?
Yes. Stagers and listing agents are a real part of our business. The same per-plant pricing covers a statement tree in an entry or greenery through a whole listing. Send the address, building access rules, photo date, and showing calendar so we can confirm the delivery and pickup plan.
