Plant rentals for events · Seattle

Beautiful plants for your Seattle event. We handle the rest.

We rent plants for conferences, trade shows, launches, and corporate events across Seattle and the Eastside. Your plants are grown, delivered, and installed by our Pacific Northwest partner — so they arrive fresh and local, styled by the shop that's built stages for Meta, Hyundai, KPMG, and Reuters.

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 vanish before your move-out deadline.

No. 1

Delivery & install

We work your venue's move-in window — dock times, freight elevators, early calls — and 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 isn't sitting right. Rooms always read differently once they're built.

No. 3

Pickup & teardown

We collect everything inside your strike window. Nothing to store, nothing to return, nothing left on the floor for your GC to deal with.

No. 4

Insured & papered

Fully insured, with COIs sent straight to your venue in whatever format it demands. Convention floors and corporate campuses are picky; we handle it.

Our eye, grown close to your venue.

The Preserve is a design-led plant shop in San Jose. We don't truck plants 840 miles to Seattle — your material is sourced, staged, and installed by our Pacific Northwest growing partner, from one of the country's great nursery regions, to our spec and our styling. You get local, fresh plants and a shorter replacement drive, with the same shop deciding what goes where.

Service area

Everett to Tacoma,
and east across the lake.

We cover Seattle, the Eastside, and the I-5 corridor from Everett to Tacoma. Your plants are grown and staged by our Pacific Northwest partner, so nothing travels further than it should before it reaches your venue.

We work the Bay Area out of our own San Jose shop, with written guides to how load-in, styling, and strike actually go at the rooms we are in most.

Good to know

Seattle questions.

The things Seattle planners ask us most, so you can scope your event without waiting on an email.

Do you serve all of the Seattle area?

Yes. We cover Seattle end to end — downtown, South Lake Union, SoDo, and the neighborhoods — plus the Eastside from Bellevue through Redmond and Kirkland, north to Everett, and south to Tacoma. The wider Puget Sound is available by arrangement. Tell us your venue and we'll confirm same day.

Which Seattle venues do you deliver to?

The Seattle Convention Center's Arch and Summit buildings; the Lumen Field Event Center; Bell Harbor International Conference Center on Pier 66; Climate Pledge Arena, MoPOP, and Chihuly Garden and Glass at Seattle Center; the Museum of Flight; SoDo's warehouse venues and Belltown lofts; hotel ballrooms from the Hyatt Regency to the Fairmont Olympic; Meydenbauer Center in Bellevue; and corporate campuses in South Lake Union, Bellevue, and Redmond. Loading docks, freight elevators, and 5am load-ins are a normal part of our week.

How much does event plant rental cost in Seattle?

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 conference and activation builds land between $3,000 and $12,000; our largest build to date was $40,000 across a full convention floor.

How far ahead should I book a Seattle event?

Four to six weeks is ideal, and larger builds want more. Seattle gets tight around the spring and fall conference runs, the big convention weekends — Emerald City Comic Con in March, PAX West over Labor Day — and December's holiday-party season, so booked-out dates cluster there. We can often still take rush requests — ask and we'll tell you straight away what's possible for your date.

Can you work at the Seattle Convention Center?

Yes, in both buildings — Arch and Summit. We work to the show's move-in and move-out schedule and coordinate with your general contractor 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.

Our event is outdoors — will the plants hold up in Seattle weather?

Yes, if we choose for it. Seattle summers are genuinely dry, but nights run cool and the waterfront gets real wind — so outdoor events want sturdy material like olives and hardy evergreens in ballasted pots, while soft tropicals like ficus stay indoors or under cover. In the rain months we flip the logic: hardy ferns and evergreens can live outside happily while anything tender works the interior. 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.

Do you do brand activations, launches, and production work?

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.

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 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.

Are you insured? Can you provide a COI for my Seattle venue?

Yes. We're fully insured for every event and provide Certificates of Insurance on request. Send us your venue's insurance requirements — most Seattle convention and campus venues have specific limits and additional-insured language — and we'll handle the paperwork directly with them.

What if a plant gets damaged during my event?

We swap it. Our Pacific Northwest material is sourced and staged locally, so replacements come from inside the region rather than from California.

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. We invoice — no deposit is taken before you've seen and approved the proposal.

Do you rent plants for home staging in Seattle?

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.
