Confident 50+ Living: Growing My Garden and a Life of Intention.
I am Gillian Larmond, also known as Queen Gee. In my 50s, I have chosen a life rooted in clarity. I grow my own herbs and food in containers, supported by my crochet plant hangers to maximize every inch of space. Between my daily tea rituals and my mission to Grow Back Jamaica, I am proving that we can reclaim our food security -one plant, one pot, and one vertical space at a time. This is a sanctuary for intentional living and gentle, sustainable growth. Explore the Blog | View my plant hanger catalog.
