Confident 50+ Living: Growing Wellness in Small Spaces & Supporting Meaningful Growth

I’m 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, food, and flowers in containers, supported by my handmade crochet plant hangers to make the most of small and vertical spaces. Through daily tea rituals and my commitment to help Grow Back Jamaica, I share practical ways we can strengthen food and herbal security, one plant at a time. Alongside this lifestyle, I also support wellness, gardening, and sustainable brands that are growing something meaningful, helping them bring clarity to their offers, strengthen relationships, and grow their income. This space reflects both: intentional living and intentional growth. Explore the Blog | View Plant Hangers | Work With Me
