Growing Wellness in My Container Garden, One Pot at a Time!
Hi! I am Gillian Larmond, affectionately known as Queen Gee. I am a Kingston-based container gardener and herbal tea lover who turned a small backyard garden into a body of work other people can actually use. Here, I share my journey of growing herbs and food in a small space, brewing traditional Jamaican bush teas, and figuring out how to grow more with less land, including the crochet plant hangers I make myself for vertical growing. This is my world, one pot, one cup, and one small ritual at a time. Welcome.
