“The Green Garden”, garden center in Cyprus is a family owned business. It was established by Mr. & Mrs. Themistocleous in the year 1979. Andreas Themistocleous was a citrus fruit and grape producer when he decided to grow a few young citrus trees for sale, as during those days, the cultivation of citrus trees was very popular on the island.
He began by opening a small shop however, over the years he introduced more and more fruit trees, ornamental trees, shrubs and bushes followed by indoor plants.
The small shop gradually became a bigger shop and eventually, over the years that followed became the largest garden center on the island of Cyprus, after the lash expansion in the year 1998, and has since been very well known of the very high quality standards of its plants and services in general.
Mr. Andreas is now the managing director of the company and he is responsible of the plant production. He controls the quality of the plants as only he knows and is very respectable from all his colleagues on the island for what he can achieve on quality using the precise nutrients and his own secret methods! He is also responsible for the outdoor plants and material stocks and orders.
Mrs. Olympia, the wife of Andreas, is responsible for placing orders and stocking indoor plants and other materials as well as being the person in charge of the shop and making sure everything runs perfectly.
In the year 1994, the eldest son of the family joined the company only to leave two years later to fulfill his studies on landscape architecture and construction, horticulture & amenity in Gloucestershire, UK. He was back into the business as soon as he had finished his studies and began his career by adding landscape design and construction as yet another service of “The Green Garden”.

He also studied in the UK completing a National diploma in Amenity landscaping & Horticulture and is now the second professional landscaper in the company.
