I am Gillian Larmond, also known as Queen Gee. A confident, purpose-led woman based in Kingston, Jamaica. An herbal tea lover, container gardener, and relationship-led sales consultant with nearly two decades of experience in Jamaican media sales and business development.

This journey did not begin with a business idea. It began with loss.

In 2017, I lost my dear mom to illness. That grief sent me searching – into plant-based nutrition, into traditional healing, into everything I had grown up watching but never fully studied. In 2018, my own respiratory health scare pushed me deeper still. I stopped approaching wellness casually. It became something I pursued with intention and urgency.

Then, in October 2025, Hurricane Melissa came through and devastated Jamaica. And something shifted permanently.

I looked at what I was consuming, where it came from, and how fragile that supply chain truly was. I made a decision I have not looked back from: I would start growing my own herbs and, as space allows, my own food, in containers, and whatever space I could use for my wellness and my food security.

I will not be able to grow everything I eat, not even close, but I can grow some of it. I can share what I harvest with my neighbours. I can reduce what I need to purchase, and I can show others, especially those of us living in small spaces, on balconies, in apartments, in shared yards, that growing something is always possible. Even a few herbs on a kitchen windowsill is a beginning.

My garden is not a showpiece. It is a decision. A permanent one. The herbs growing in my containers right now include Green Mint, Guinea Hen Weed, Scallion, Aloe Vera, Dandelion, Blue Vervain, Leaf of Life, Snake Plant, and more. Not every herb in my cup comes from my containers. Some come from neighbours. Some from trusted growers. Some from local vendors. What matters is staying connected to what I consume and knowing where it comes from.

Here is the part that connects everything.

I know I cannot grow enough herbs to supply my community. I cannot grow enough to feed everyone who needs access to clean, plant-based nourishment. But I spent nearly two decades in Jamaican media sales, selling advertising for radio stations, building business relationships, understanding how trust and consistency create revenue. Those skills did not disappear when I left broadcasting. They grew into something more purposeful.

If I cannot grow enough to reach everyone, I can use my sales expertise to help the people who can: Wellness brands. Garden businesses. Sustainable lifestyle brands. The small business owners who are already growing herbs, selling plant-based products, offering natural remedies, or teaching others to grow. They need help reaching more people. They need help turning their Instagram and Facebook presence into something that actually generates consistent revenue.

That is where I come in.

My sales consulting is not separate from my garden. It is an extension of it. I help wellness, garden, and lifestyle brands build the kind of customer relationships that spread what they grow, what they make, and what they believe, to more people than they could ever reach alone.

One woman growing in containers in Kingston, Jamaica, cannot feed a nation. But one woman using eighteen years of sales wisdom to help dozens of wellness brands grow their reach and their revenue – that multiplies. 

That is the root system behind everything here. If you found your way to this platform, the garden is glad you came.
