Sue Gillmore, aka The Back Yard Herbalist, is a Certified Nutritional Herbalist, Master Herbalist, and the author of five Herbal Resource Manuals, which are available at LDSPrepperStore.com. She is also a Master Gardener and Master Mittleider Gardener.

After moving from Texas to Shelley, Idaho, in 2014, she discovered there is a treasure trove of medicinal weeds and plants in Southeastern Idaho, as well as all along the Arizona-Utah-Idaho corridor. So, she began a quest to identify what grows locally and to learn how to cultivate and use these plants to support health and wellness, as well as help the body heal itself.

She has taught a variety of herbal classes and remedy-making workshops and conducts monthly plant walks during the growing season. She enjoys helping others learn to identify and use local herbs and hopes doing so will create a network of Back Yard Herbalists who share their herbal knowledge, experience, plants, and remedies to help others become more self-sufficient and enjoy a better quality of life.

She and her husband live in Shelley, Idaho, where they live off-grid on their 2.3-acre property along with their chickens, quail, dog, and cat. Sue has an extensive herb garden, and David grows food year-round in his two geothermal greenhouses.

They have four children and six grandchildren.
