Growth that Matters
As a corporate gift, a Gift a Tree Certificate shows employees that they matter — that their growth, dedication, and roots in the company are deeply valued. It’s a powerful symbol of long-term vision and care
Meaning over things
A Gift a Tree Certificate is a rare, personalised gift — a named tree that grows with time and becomes more valuable every year. Picked by individuals who believe gifts should be personal, lasting, and full of soul
WHY PEOPLE PICK US?
Gift a Tree Certificate started in 2025 as part of the Restore Forest by ECOmbare initiative. The project takes place in Arakapas — the village where the devastating 2021 wildfire began, destroying over 51 km² of surrounding forest and vegetation.
We plant trees on nearby mountain slopes to restore damaged ecosystems. Water is scarce, so we use Dutch Groasis Waterboxx technology to help trees grow in dry conditions.
By planting a tree in someone’s name, you’re giving more than a gift — you’re helping Cyprus heal. Each tree becomes a living symbol of love and friendship, putting down roots that restore the land.

The Groasis Waterboxx is an innovative, eco-friendly device designed to help young seedlings survive and thrive in arid and challenging environments. This sustainable container collects rainwater and moisture from the air, funneling it directly to the plant’s roots. By minimizing water evaporation and drastically reducing the need for manual watering, it enables trees and plants to establish strong root systems even in dry, nutrient-poor soils. Its unique design also protects seedlings from harsh sun and wind, increasing their chances of survival significantly
The Groasis Waterboxx is made from recyclable materials. It stays on the tree for about two years, until the seedling takes root and grows strong. After that, the Waterboxx is removed and can be reused, minimising environmental impact. This product not only helps combat desertification but also restores biodiversity, improves soil quality, and supports local communities by fostering sustainable agriculture and forest growth.
We select native tree species adapted to local climate conditions. These plants are well-suited to dry climates and poor soils, ensuring they thrive even in challenging environments. We plant them in combinations that complement each other, creating a balanced ecosystem vital for birds and wildlife, thereby supporting biodiversity and ecosystem resilience
Yes, if desired, you or the certificate recipient can personally plant the tree at an agreed location or leave the planting to our professional team. We organize tree planting events at the end of every month throughout the year, ensuring the best possible conditions for the seedlings to thrive. If the certificate recipient wishes to participate in the planting process themselves, they simply need to mention this in their email communication with us after receiving the certificate. We will then provide all the necessary details and arrange an opportunity for them to join the planting event and be part of this meaningful experience
If your seedling does not take root, we guarantee a free replacement and replanting. For the first two years, we carefully care for the trees and monitor their survival as they establish strong roots — ensuring their successful growth is our top priority
Our programs primarily focus on regions with urgent restoration needs, such as Arakapas, where environmental degradation and water scarcity have had a significant impact on local ecosystems. These areas benefit greatly from reforestation efforts, helping to restore biodiversity, improve soil quality, and support local wildlife. However, we are actively working on expanding our planting locations to reach more regions around Cyprus that face similar ecological challenges
We provide professional care and monitoring for the tree for at least 2 years after planting. During the hot summer months, we protect the young trees with special GrowSafe covers to prevent sunburn and reduce stress from harsh sunlight. For the first 1.5 to 2 years, the tree invests energy into developing a strong root system and learning to access water deep in the soil independently. During this critical period, the Waterboxx remains on the tree, ensuring it receives sufficient moisture without the need for additional watering. After this establishment phase, the Waterboxx is carefully removed, and the tree begins to thrive on its own. Throughout the entire 2-year care period, we conduct monthly monitoring visits to check the health of each tree and provide any necessary maintenance to support its growth and resilience. This thorough and dedicated care ensures the highest chances of survival and long-term success for every tree we plant
We provide regular updates on the tree’s condition, usually every three months, including photos and growth information
