Every year, Green Roofs for Healthy Cities organizes the Green Roof and Wall Awards of Excellence for excellence in design, research,
and policy. In the Fall issue, we profiled 2019's outstanding design projects, which featured a farm for a busy urban hospital, a living wall
that utilized the very research subjects housed in the building, and spaces that speak with the local landscapes and biodiversities they
inhabit. This issue, we present the individual awards, celebrating achievements in research, advertising, policy, and overall contributions to
the industry. Congratulations to the 2019 award winners.
