Event plant rentals
Your stand, dressed in green before you land.
Premium natural potted plants, matched to your event theme, for exhibitions, conferences and events across the UAE. Delivered to your stand on build-up day, looked after through the show, and gone when it closes.
DWTC, ADNEC, Expo City and the venue of your choice.
For exhibitors flying in
You arrive the day before build-up. The plants are already handled.
Most of the stands we dress belong to companies that are not based in the UAE. The brief comes by email, the plants go in while you are still in the air, and nothing travels home with you.
Book from anywhere
Send us the show, your stand number and a drawing. We confirm stock, quote per stand, and hold the plants for your dates. No site visit, no local contact needed.
We work to your contractor’s schedule
Delivery is timed to your stand builder’s slot, night build-ups included. Our own team places every plant and comes back for the strike.
Nothing to carry home
No shipping, storage, disposal or customs. The plants are ours; they arrive, they stay presentable, and they leave at breakdown.
How pre-booking works
Four steps, and you only do the first.
Pre-booking fixes your plants to your stand and your dates before show stock runs out. It takes one email or one form.
Tell us the show and the stand
Show name, stand number and size, and whether you want live or artificial plants. A drawing helps, but is not required to start.
Verified the same day
We confirm the venue, the build-up window and your contractor’s access, and check stock against your dates.
Proposal in two working days
A per-stand proposal with the plants, planters and placement, priced for the show period. Confirm and the plants are held for you.
Delivered on build-up day
Our team places and dresses the plants to your schedule, keeps them presentable through the show, and collects them after close.
Pre-booking cutoffs are set per show. Bookings after the cutoff are subject to available stock.
Upcoming shows
Pre-booking is open for these shows.
Pick your show, send us the stand, and the plants are held for your dates.

Three ways to dress a stand
From two plants to a full scheme.
Every stand is quoted on its own drawing. These three tiers are where most briefs land.
Tier one
Two statement plants
A matched pair at the entrance or either side of a screen. The quickest way to make a shell-scheme stand look finished.
Tier two
A dressed corner
A cluster of three to five plants in mixed heights, set into a seating or meeting corner so it reads as a room rather than a stand.
Tier three
Full-stand scheme
Planter walls, dividers, lounge greenery and entrance pieces designed to the stand drawing, placed with your contractor.
Quoted per stand for the show period. Rental is the default; purchase is available on request if you would like to keep the plants afterwards.
Live or artificial
Natural first. Fire-rated artificial where the venue requires it.
Live plants
Arecas, kentias, strelitzias, olives and dracaenas from our own stock, in planters chosen for the stand.
- Watered and kept presentable through the show by our own team
- Delivered acclimatised, so they look the same on day four as on day one
- Replaced from stock if anything is damaged during the show
Fire-rated artificial
For venues and stand positions where live planting is not permitted, or where the show runs long without access for care.
- Fire-rated foliage certified to ASTM E84 Class A and EN 13501-1
- Certificates supplied for your venue’s fire-safety file
- Species and planters matched to the live range, so a mixed scheme reads as one
Chosen to pass at arm’s length, not just from the aisle.

Exhibiting in the UAE
Key shows and venues we dress stands for.
Event plant rental means hiring live or fire-rated artificial plants for the days of a show, delivered to the stand and collected at breakdown, rather than buying and shipping greenery. These are the exhibitions, conferences and venues where most of our stand bookings come from, with links to the organisers for dates and floor plans.

FAQ
Questions about event plant rentals.
Can I book from overseas?
Yes. Most of the stands we dress are booked from outside the UAE. Send the show, stand number and size through the form or on WhatsApp. We verify the same day and send a per-stand proposal within two working days. Nothing needs to happen on site until build-up.
Which venues do you cover?
Dubai World Trade Centre, ADNEC, Expo City Dubai and the Dubai Exhibition Centre, plus hotels, arenas and private venues across the UAE. If your show is at another venue, tell us and we will confirm access.
Can you deliver during overnight build-ups?
Yes. Delivery is timed to your stand contractor’s slot, including night build-ups. Our own team places the plants and comes back for the strike after the show closes.
Who looks after the plants during the show?
We do. Live plants are watered and kept presentable by our own team through the show, and anything damaged is replaced from our stock.
Can I keep the plants afterwards?
Rental is the default, with collection at breakdown. If you would like to keep some or all of the plants, purchase is available on request and is priced in the proposal.
Do you have fire-rated artificial plants?
Yes. Our artificial range is fire-rated to ASTM E84 Class A and EN 13501-1, and we supply the certificates for your venue’s fire-safety file.
How is pricing worked out?
Per stand, for the show period, once the show and stand are verified. The proposal lists the plants, planters, placement, delivery and collection in one figure.
When should I book?
Each show has a pre-booking cutoff, usually two to three weeks before build-up, shown on the show cards above. Bookings after the cutoff are welcome but subject to available stock.
