Hey London,
I wish I worked for the company that you're working for! I would suggest trying a local source first. The shipping will kill your budget. I don't know where you are... but even here in fridged Michigan there are local greenhouses. Foliage/ Houseplants are something that can be grown with relative ease. Start with that.
When I worked at a retail garden center, we grew a few houseplants... even 1,000 wouldn't have been too hard given my limited space.
Don't be overly fussy about the variety or you'll have to pay more for the plants. Ivy, Moses in the Cradle, Peace Lily and Philodendron (or Pothos) are all relatively inexpensive, and can be found almost any time of the year -for production-.
I hope this helps
Good luck

If you need that many plants, I would call local plant wholesalers first. Seems like you should be able to get a pretty good deal on an order that size.
