Hedges, let’s talk about hedges. They are a great way of creating “private space” any where within you exhibit or Ballroom, or Convention space. The hedges are nominal 6 feet long by 6 feet tall by 13″ deep. they are self standing and you can put them side to side to make long runs without seeing between them.

So if you’re having an event and need to block off part of the room you might want to consider using these, they rent for $200 each plus delivery.

there are different ways to use them. See the samples below. These hedges are available in our NY and Las Vegas warehouses. We have about 180 running feet in each location.

We also have smaller hedges at our Las Vegas warehouse, they are 3 feet tall by 4 feet long by 13″ deep. You can make an aisle or similar.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

So your at a Tradeshow or convention and realize there are some ugly cords in the corner that you would rather not see, or there are some support pieces that you do not want anyone to trip over. The easiest way to cover it is to just block it with something. A rental plant is a great solution. All you need to do is call the florist for the show and have them deliver it directly to your exhibit, then at the end of the show they pick it up. It would probably cost between $35-50. We all know it might be less money to go to Home Depot and pay $18 for a plant, but did you think about the $12 container the plant goes into? or getting it from your car or a $40 taxi  to the booth? the time it takes you when you need to be setting your exhibit. Also with cut flowers, we charge $66 for our small bouquet, if you go to a local florist you would pay the same thing and then they would charge $15 for delivery,  or you would need to hand carry it from your vehicle to the booth which is very inconvenient.

So next time you see that wire, or the monitor is too low and someone might hit there head on it,  just put a plant under it to people from walking into it. Most people that attend Conventions and Tradeshow are not expecting to run into a monitor.

We have been doing plant rentals since 1956 when they opened the NY coliseum. Since then we have serviced thousands of exhibitors and rented tens of thousands of plants. Since tradeshows, conventions and private/corporate events is all we do, it is easy to stay focused on the industry and trends.

Back from Orlando, did a big job for a great group of people. This was our first time doing Plant Rentals at that location, the Swan and Dolphin Resort in Disney.  So happy we had Rich Barnes with PG plants to help us out. The client just told us where they wanted plants and we made the rest happen.  The best part is everything worked out good. It took 9 men 12 hours to set this plant rental. The room had many columns and our plants covered them. It might have been easier to cover them with drape, but the plants looked so much better.

Getting ready for another vision expo! tulips and phalaenopsis orchid!

We’ve been working hard trying to get all the logistical work done for a big plant rental in the Disney area. Shipping containers and plants from New York and Florida with the large container coming from Indiana. We are thankful that our nurseries for helping us with the products we need at all the Tradeshow and conventions we do around the country.
