Theme gardens, plants and planters for events

Event Landscaping and Plant Supply in Dubai

When an event needs greenery that matches the brief, Backyardz Landscape supplies or hires, styles and later collects the plants, trees, palms, pots, planters, boulders and stones. For the past six years we have delivered event landscaping for UAE government and high-profile events, including the World Government Summit, the UAE Government Annual Meetings, MBRGEA and Investopia. We design theme gardens indoors and outdoors so the space feels finished, not filled.

What We Supply for Events

Event managers and agencies come to us when the venue needs more than a few potted plants in a corner. We source, deliver and arrange live greenery and hardscape elements so the space matches the event concept, whether that is a desert garden indoors, a tropical lounge or a clean contemporary look.

Plants, trees and palms. Live trees, palms, flowering trees and native shrubs chosen for the venue height, light levels and the look of the brief.
Pots and planters. Designer pots and planters, including custom curved timber planters with integrated seating when the concept calls for it.
Boulders, stones and sand. Natural boulders, rocks, pebbles and sand, supplied and displayed on site for desert and native themes.
Theme gardens. Custom gardens designed around your event’s theme: desert, native, tropical or contemporary, built to match the brief indoors or outdoors.
VIP lounge and majlis styling. Greenery placed to frame seating, soften walls and set the tone in hospitality spaces.
Garden uplighting. Discrete uplights nested in the planting so trees, palms and rock features read clearly after dark.
Event plant supply and hire. We source the plants for your dates, deliver and style them on site, and collect them at strike-down, so you do not need to buy or store them. Whether you need a short-term hire or plants supplied for the event, we work to the brief. This suits corporate events, government gatherings, brand activations and exhibition stands as well as full theme gardens.
Exhibition and venue work. We install in ballrooms, exhibition halls, hotel lobbies, outdoor plazas and temporary structures. When the brief and schedule allow, we can work at venues such as Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC), Dubai Exhibition Centre at Expo City and ADNEC, and we plan around build-up and dismantling windows.

If you also need lasting indoor plants for offices or villas, or full villa landscaping in Dubai, the same team handles both temporary event installs and permanent gardens.

Theme Gardens Designed to the Brief

Some events need a full garden, not a line of pots. We design and build theme gardens that follow the concept of the show: native desert landscapes, soft tropical lounges, or pared-back contemporary planting.

For the UAE Government Annual Meetings, for example, we created a desert landscape indoors with native-style trees, sand, rocks and curved planters with built-in seating. Guests could sit inside the garden while the planting, stones and uplighting carried the theme through the hall.

Indoor and outdoor installs

We work in ballrooms, exhibition halls, hotel lobbies, outdoor plazas and temporary structures. Indoor installs need careful plant choice for light and air conditioning; outdoor installs need plants that hold up in Dubai heat and wind for the length of the event. We plan both from the brief and the venue conditions.

Install and strike-down

Event timelines are tight. We plan delivery, overnight install where the schedule requires it, styling before guests arrive, and a clean strike-down once the event closes, so the venue is handed back tidy.

Event Plants FAQs

Do you supply plants for corporate and government events in Dubai?

Yes. For the past six years we have supplied and styled event greenery for UAE government and high-profile events, including the World Government Summit, the UAE Government Annual Meetings, MBRGEA and Investopia.

What does event landscaping include?

We supply and style plants, trees, palms, pots and planters, boulders and stones, and we design theme gardens to match the event concept, indoors or outdoors.

Can you build a theme garden indoors?

Yes. For the UAE Government Annual Meetings we built an indoor desert landscape with native-style trees, sand, rocks and curved planters with built-in seating, complete with uplighting.

Do you handle install and strike-down?

Yes. We plan delivery, on-site styling and a clean strike-down after the event. Overnight install is available when the venue schedule requires it.

Can you style VIP lounges and majlis areas?

Yes. We place feature trees, palms and planters to frame seating, soften walls and set the tone in VIP lounges and majlis spaces.

Do you work only in Dubai?

We focus on Dubai and work across the UAE for event greenery when the brief and schedule allow, including exhibition and conference venues in Dubai and Abu Dhabi.

Do you hire plants for events, or only sell them?

We both hire and supply plants for events, depending on what the client needs. We deliver, install and style them, then collect everything at strike-down when it is a hire, or leave supplied plants as agreed. Tell us the venue, dates and theme and we will propose what can be sourced in time.

Can you supply greenery for exhibitions and stand-build?

Yes. We style plants, trees, palms and planters for exhibition halls and stands as well as for conferences and hospitality spaces, and we plan delivery around your build-up and dismantling window. We can work at venues such as Dubai World Trade Centre, Dubai Exhibition Centre at Expo City and ADNEC when the brief and schedule allow.

How far in advance should we brief you?

As soon as the venue, dates and theme are known. Large theme gardens and peak-season events in winter need more lead time so plants and custom planters can be sourced. If the schedule is tight, WhatsApp +971 50 310 8179 and we will say what is possible.

How do I get a proposal for my event?

Call or WhatsApp +971 50 310 8179, email Info@backyardz.ae, or use the contact page. Share the venue, dates and theme and we will propose plants, planters and hardscape to match.
