Welcome to Grow Good Things:
Embracing Traditional Knowledge for Modern Living

Are you eager to reconnect with nature, learn time-honored skills, and harness the magic of natural materials? You've come to the right place! I'm Bridget Lacey, a specialist in organic gardening within the challenging climate of Alberta's Foothills, and maker of natural products under the Queen Bee Alchemy label.

​​

With decades of hands-on experience and a deep understanding of permaculture design principles, natural health products, and homesteading skills, I am dedicated to sharing my passion for regenerative practices and am committed to passing along the teachings to help people discover how to make and Grow Good Things in their own lives.

​

Vision and Purpose:

As the founder of Grow Good Things, my vision and purpose are rooted in the profound connection between humanity and the Earth's vibrant web of life. I believe that this connection carries the wisdom of our ancestors who skillfully shaped life from the raw elements of nature. It is this very connection that propels us forward, inspiring us to learn and adopt methods and processes that nurture our environment and enable us to cultivate abundance and health in harmony with the Earth.

​

Guiding Mission:

My mission is to lead you on a journey of rediscovery, empowering you to master the skills that foster self-reliance, enhance food security, and strengthen communities. I am wholeheartedly committed to passing on the time-honored skills and knowledge of traditional methods. In doing so, we uncover the artistry inherent in creating a sustainable world.
