Helen Johansson
Welcome to a world of discovery and sustainability!
I’m a proud SkåneGuide and nationally authorized guide, which guarantees the highest standard according to guidelines issued by the Swedish Guide Association and Visita, the Swedish hospitality industry.
With over six years of experience as a guide, lecturer, and CEO of the
Scandinavian Green Roof Institute
in Malmö, I’m deeply passionate about all things green and sustainable. My journey began with a simple love of nature and has taken me to explore and work with green roofs and blue-green solutions for our cities.
I’ve had the privilege of contributing to exciting projects, including the creation of one of Scandinavia’s largest rooftop parks at the Emporia shopping center in Malmö. Over the years, I’ve shared knowledge through lectures and hands-on work with green roofs and urban sustainability solutions, always aiming to inspire others.
Today, I invite you to explore a world of greenery and adventure. Join me for guided tours, courses, and lectures where we’ll dive into everything from lush rooftop landscapes to historic walking tours in Malmö, Lund, and Copenhagen.
I’m happy to guide you in both Swedish and English, making every experience engaging and unforgettable. So, are you ready to learn more about sustainability and green solutions for the future? Let’s explore together—it’ll be both inspiring and fun!

Reviews
"For three years, Helen has led my landscape engineering students through Malmö's green-blue infrastructure in an excellent pedagogical way. She has always been well prepared and interesting to listen to."
Scott Wahl,
University lecturer and landscape architect,
Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences
"I have been on several guided tours together with Helen during the time she has worked at Gröna Tak Institutet. She manages to combine a relaxed and personal style with a professionalism and technical content that is usually appreciated by participants. She is clear in her communication and honest with the group if she receives questions that she cannot answer, or where she conveys negative experiences. It builds trust and conveys important knowledge."
Trevor Graham,
Director
Urban Island
"I have had quite a few times groups of French political delegates in Augustenborg and at the Scandinavian Green Roof Institute.
Helen Johansson was our guide, and she was very knowledgeable, but also enthusiastic, engaging, and also entertaining. She has good communication skills and I would never hesitate to use her again!"
