Steph Curry filmed here.
When Complex filmed Steph Curry for an episode of 360 With Speedy, they shot the whole conversation inside our shop. We like to think that says something about how the place looks.

Full service, start to finish
What we take care of.
You tell us the hall, the ballroom section, and the look. We make sure the plants arrive inside your move-in window, hold up for the whole program, and are gone before move-out closes.
No. 1
Delivery & install
We work your show's move-in schedule and place every plant to your floor plan. Send your access requirements so we can plan the delivery.
No. 2
On-site styling
Before doors open we walk the space with you and move anything that isn't sitting right — halls read differently once the booths and staging are up.
No. 3
Pickup & teardown
We strike inside your move-out window and haul everything back to the shop. Nothing for your team or your GC to handle.
No. 4
Insured & papered
Fully insured, with Certificates of Insurance sent ahead to the venue or your show management in the format they require.
The collections
Organized the way you plan a space.

The building
Spaces we green in Santa Clara.
100,000 square feet of exhibit space plus a ballroom, a theater, and thirty-one breakout rooms, in the middle of the Great America Parkway tech corridor.
Exhibit Halls A–CBooth packages, aisle anchors, and entrance statements for shows that fill the full 100,000 square feet or a single hall.
Mission City BallroomThe 22,400-square-foot ballroom for keynotes, galas, and company milestones — stage framing and table-scale greenery that photographs beautifully.
The theaterThe 607-seat theater for keynotes and screenings — stage plantings composed for sightlines and cameras rather than clutter.
Breakouts & prefunctionSession-room accents and lobby clusters that carry the look through all thirty-one meeting rooms and the concourse between them.
Outdoor & patio momentsReceptions and sponsor moments outside the hall — sun-tolerant material specified for exposed placements.

The building where Silicon Valley throws its events.
User conferences, sales kickoffs, developer days, holiday parties — the Santa Clara Convention Center runs on the same corporate calendar we've served for years. We know what a keynote needs to look like on camera, what a sponsor lounge needs to feel like in person, and how to make both happen inside a single move-in window.

Good to know
Santa Clara questions.
What planners and exhibitors ask us about working the convention center.
Do you deliver to the Santa Clara Convention Center?
Yes. We arrange delivery to your show's move-in window, install to your floor plan, and strike inside move-out. Send your event schedule so we can confirm availability and access.
Can you work within our show's move-in and move-out schedule?
Yes. Send your exhibitor manual or production timeline with your request and we'll plan delivery and strike around the real times — early calls and overnight strikes included.
Do you coordinate with show management and general contractors?
Yes. For exhibit-hall work we coordinate with your general contractor's schedule and follow the show's delivery and material rules. Tell us who's running the floor and we'll slot in.
Can you provide a Certificate of Insurance for the venue?
Yes. We're fully insured and send COIs directly to the venue or show management ahead of load-in, with whatever additional-insured language is required. Send the requirements with your request and the paperwork is done before your crew arrives.
What does plant rental cost for a Santa Clara event?
Pricing is per plant, and one rental price covers your event for up to three days. There's a $3,000 minimum per event, with delivery billed separately by scope. Booth packages typically start at our $3,000 minimum; ballroom, mainstage, and multi-space programs can scale beyond $100,000.
Will the plants last a multi-day conference without watering?
Yes. We choose hardy material for hall and ballroom light, water and groom everything before delivery, and one rental price covers up to three days. We don't staff on-site watering. If a plant needs attention, we coordinate a replacement with your event team and venue.
Can one order cover the conference and our offsite party?
Yes. One proposal can cover your program at the convention center plus a dinner or reception at the Marriott, the Hyatt, or a venue nearby — including Levi's Stadium events. One team, one invoice.
How far ahead should we book?
Four to six weeks is ideal, and the spring and fall corporate-event seasons book out earliest. We can often take rush requests — ask, and we'll tell you straight away what's possible for your date.
What if a plant gets damaged mid-event?
We swap it. Contact us when a plant needs attention, and we will coordinate a replacement with your event team and venue.
How do deposits and payment work?
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. No payment is taken before you've seen and approved the proposal.
Still wondering something? Just ask →
Nothing here is disposable. Every plant comes home to our shop, recovers, and goes back out again.
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.
