If you are going to be in the green roof business, you need to understand plants. The GRP designation and training gives me an edge in the marketplace. Rex Greenwald, Sales Executive, GRP Tecta America

Rex Greenwald

The GRHC green roof courses were incremental in my preparation for the Green Roof Professional exam. The opportunity to take the four courses in four days was invaluable to my understanding of green roof systems design, approach and implementation. I highly recommend attending the Green Roofs for Healthy Cities Boot Camp from an educational point of view and because of the wonderful networking opportunity. Amanda C.
