Confident 50+ Living: Rooted in Herbal Wellness, Driven by Strategy.

I am Gillian Larmond also known as Queen Gee. In my 50s, I have chosen a life rooted in clarity, intention, and steady growth. I grow herbs and food in containers, while sharing simple practices for herbal wellness and intentional living. My mission to help “Grow Back Jamaica” was born in the wake of Hurricane Melissa, inspiring me to document my journey and encourage others to cultivate their own food and medicine, even in small urban spaces. Beyond the garden, I also support fellow small business owners in building relationship-led sales rooted in clarity, trust, and purpose.
