36' wide x 19' high.  For events of this sort we close the mid-stage 
traveler and run about 20' deep.

Thanks, this is good input.

I've had clients rent plants before, and the University provides 
greenery for graduations in here, so I've got a decent sense of what 
would look big enough.  I've had several recommendations to just rent 
real plants, but I'm looking to have something always on hand for that 
client who asks for it 10 minutes before the doors open.
