greensman

Studio plant tender

A greensman is a film or television crew member responsible for plants and foliage on set.

The greensman sources, places, and maintains trees, shrubs, flowers, and other vegetation to create the desired look for a scene: The greensman dressed the courtyard with potted palms and hanging ferns.

On larger productions, a head greensman may supervise a department.
