Gethsemane Garden Center began in 1977. Owner Regas Chefas, had grown up with actual victory gardens at home and worked each year for his father, Jack (Spiros) Chefas, selling pumpkins & Christmas trees on Devon Avenue. With the help of his father, sister & brother-in-law, Sally and Jerry Costello and neighborhood friend, Bob Levy, Regas opened Gethsemane Garden Center.
Carrying on the family tradition to the third generation, Sarah Chefas and her brother Riggie worked for their dad throughout their school years, every summer and through the busy Christmas seasons until they graduated from college and moved on to their own careers.
Starting with the original business, selling annuals, perennials, vegetables, and soil, Gethsemane expanded the Garden Center’s offerings over the years, adding Trees & Shrubs, Fountains and Garden Statuary, and the Greenhouse. What started as a business on one city lot grew to its current size, two city blocks long!
