Hi everyone! I’m hoping to cast a wide net and see if anyone knows or has recommendations for renting plants in the area. I work for a small business on the south side and we’re hoping to fill our shop with plants for special events.

While we do have some smaller potted plants in the shop on a daily basis, the size of our shop is not conducive to housing large plants full time.

We would love to work with another local small business.

TIA! 😁

Thank you all in advance!

You can rent my houseplants, it’s about time they started pulling their weight around here

You got some couch potatoes?

Coming soon, AirBnB for plants.

Try Plantscape in the strip? I know they design/maintain “landscaping” in corporate lobbies and such. They may do event rentals as well.

You could contact tropical plants llc. I believe they do plant rentals

Describe what you need and what you're expecting by "renting" plants, because, to be honest, my house is full of them, and this autumn I was talking about renting space to keep them all.

We’re hoping to borrow them for special events like new product tastings etc. We run an organic juice bar and want our space to be full of life and greenery for those events. We just don’t. Have the space or man power to house and care for larger plants on a daily basis.
