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 styled by The Preserve. That same eye for scale, texture, and camera-ready detail guides every plant plan we create.

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 vanish before your move-out deadline.
We work your venue's move-in window — dock times, freight elevators, early calls — and place every plant to your floor plan.
Before doors open we walk the room with you and move anything that isn't sitting right. Rooms always read differently once they're built.
We collect everything inside your strike window. Nothing to store, nothing to return, nothing left on the floor for your GC to deal with.
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.
An itemized proposal with photos of the actual plants, suggested placements, and one clear price — including the Philadelphia delivery and labor line.
Our crew works your move-in window and fine-tunes the room with you before doors open.
We strike and haul everything out before your move-out deadline. The plants go back into rotation, not a dumpster.
Multi-day shows at the Pennsylvania Convention Center. 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 Center City, University City, and King of Prussia. 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 Philadelphia end to end, the Main Line and the western suburbs out to King of Prussia, and South Jersey across the river, with Wilmington down I-95. Your plants are sourced and staged in the Mid-Atlantic, so nothing travels further than it should before it reaches your venue.
Somewhere else in the Philadelphia region? Ask. We travel for the right event.
One plant palette, one styling standard, and one point of contact across the cities below.
The things planners ask us most, so you can scope your Philadelphia event without waiting on an email.
Yes. We cover Philadelphia end to end — Center City, Old City, University City, Fishtown, Fairmount, and the Navy Yard — plus Manayunk, the Main Line, and Conshohocken out to King of Prussia, across the river to Camden and Cherry Hill, and down I-95 to Wilmington. Tell us your venue and we'll confirm same day.
The Pennsylvania Convention Center's exhibit halls and Grand Hall; the convention hotels, from the Marriott Downtown across the skybridge to the Loews in the PSFS Building and the Sheraton's Liberty Ballroom; the Parkway museums — the Franklin Institute, the Barnes, and the Philadelphia Museum of Art; The Bellevue and the Cescaphe ballrooms; Memorial Hall in Fairmount Park; the Fillmore, Brooklyn Bowl, and Punch Line in Fishtown; Cherry Street Pier on the Delaware; and corporate campuses from University City to the Navy Yard and King of Prussia. Loading docks, freight elevators, and 5am load-ins are a normal part of our week.
Pricing is per plant, and one rental price covers your event for up to three days. There's a $3,000 minimum per event. Delivery and setup are billed separately based on your venue, your move-in window, and the size of the install. Most Philadelphia 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. Philadelphia dates cluster around the Convention Center's big runs — the Auto Show at the turn of January into February, Flower Show week in early spring, the fall citywide conventions, and PAX Unplugged alongside December's holiday-party season — 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 exhibit halls, the meeting rooms, and the Grand Hall in the old Reading Terminal train shed. We work to the show's move-in and move-out schedule and coordinate with your general contractor and any labor the venue requires, including the Center's marshaling-yard check-in on Bluegrass Road before trucks are dispatched to the Vine Street docks. 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.
In summer, better than almost anywhere. Philadelphia summers are hot and humid, and that's exactly what tropicals like ficus and palms want — warm nights and greenhouse air — so they genuinely thrive outdoors from June through early September, as long as leaves that grew up indoors are kept out of harsh afternoon sun. It's the Mediterranean material we deploy carefully: olives love the heat but sulk in sustained humidity, so they're a great event-weekend choice rather than a season-long terrace resident. Once September nights slide toward 50°F the tropicals come back inside, and in the winter months outdoor decor means hardy evergreens while anything tender works the interior — cold-month deliveries travel sleeved and blanketed between the truck and your door. Tell us whether the space is covered or exposed 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're an events business, not a set-dressing house — we rent and install rather than sell or build.
Delivery, installation and styling to your floor plan, a walk-through with you before doors open, then full teardown and pickup after. You never lift, store, or return anything. The one thing we don't do is stay on site to water during your event, so we pick and prep plants that look their best for the whole rental.
Yes. We're fully insured for every event and provide Certificates of Insurance on request. Send us your venue's insurance requirements — most Philadelphia convention, museum, and campus venues have specific limits and additional-insured language — and we'll handle the paperwork directly with them.
We swap it. Our Mid-Atlantic material is sourced and staged locally, so replacements can come from inside the region.
A 50% deposit up front so we can source the exact plants and planters your event needs, and the remaining 50% one week before the event. Events fewer than 20 calendar days away are paid in full at booking, since sourcing and scheduling start immediately. We invoice — no payment is taken before you've seen and approved the proposal.
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.

Renting is reusing. One ficus can appear at dozens of events over its lifetime, and nothing ends up in a dumpster when yours is over.
