Helen Johansson
Welcome to a world of discovery and sustainability!
I am your nationally authorized guide and a proud member of SkåneGuide, 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 at the Scandinavian Green Roof Institute in the heart of Malmö, my commitment to the green and sustainable future is deeply rooted. My journey started with a love of nature, which eventually led me to explore green roofs and other blue-green urban solutions.
From having been part of the ground-breaking installation of one of Scandinavia's largest roof parks at the Emporia shopping center in Malmö, to lecturing on and managing green roofs and other urban blue-green solutions, I have continuously strived to spread knowledge and awareness.
With a multifaceted background, I have amassed a unique skill set and experience that I now share with the world. By offering exciting courses, inspiring lectures and captivating guided tours, I take you on a journey through verdant rooftop landscapes, historical walks in Malmö, Lund and Copenhagen, and much more.
Whether it's in Swedish or English, my passion and enthusiasm is contagious. Let me guide you through a world of green experiences and the future of sustainability. Welcome to discover with me!

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

"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!"
