Gillian Larmond | Confident, Purpose-Led Queen | Herbal Tea Lover & Container Gardener
My garden

I am Gillian Larmond, affectionately known as Queen Gee. I live in Kingston, Jamaica, where I cultivate a lifestyle centered around vibrant wellness, creative self-expression, and the deep, grounding wisdom rooted in Jamaican tradition.

This space is my digital journal. It is where I document the herbs I am growing, the traditional teas I am brewing, and the custom pieces I am crafting with my crochet hooks. I share my life because I believe that a vibrant, intentional, and confident life is possible at any stage, and it can begin with something as simple as a pot of mint on your doorstep and a beautiful vision in your mind.

My Journey: Where Healing Meets Heritage

My path into herbal wellness did not begin in a classroom. It began in 2017, when a deep personal loss sent me searching for answers in plant-based research and natural remedies. In 2018, a serious personal health experience deepened that search, transforming wellness from an option into a daily practice.

Then came October 2025. When Hurricane Melissa passed, I looked at what remained and made a definitive choice: I began growing my herbs seriously. Not just for health, but for food security, for resilience, and for the quiet confidence that comes from knowing you can nourish yourself right from your own space.

Today, I tend a thriving backyard container garden of Green Mint, Guinea Hen Weed, Aloe Vera, Snake Plant, Blue Vervain, Leaf of Life, Dandelion, Scallion, and more. I begin most mornings with a cup of bush tea steeped slowly and mindfully, a beautiful, healing ritual passed down through generations.

Nourishing the Body, Styling the Soul

But wellness isn’t just about what we put into our bodies; it is also about how we feel in our skin and how we beautify our surroundings.

For over thirty (30) years, I have carried a passion for the art of crochet. As a confident woman in my fifties, I have watched how the right piece can completely transform how a woman feels. That is why I founded Crochet by Queen Gee.

My crochet work is an extension of my wellness lifestyle. It is divided into two distinct expressions:

  • The Sanctuary Collection: Custom-crafted plant hangers, doilies, and table runners designed to elevate small spaces, maximize vertical growing, and bring a sense of calm, natural beauty into your home.
  • The Crown & Coast Collection: Bespoke, lightweight resort wear, custom swimwear, elegant sarongs, and my signature statement ruffle and bucket hats. These are high-quality, handmade pieces designed to celebrate confidence, elegance, and individuality for the modern woman who is ready to stand boldly in her own light.

Claiming Your Crown

I am a proud Jamaican Queen in my fifties who is learning, in real time, what it means to live exceptionally well – not perfectly, but honestly, beautifully, and entirely on my own terms.
