Welcome! My name is Heather and I’m so grateful you’re here!


I’m the woman behind Prunella Picnic! I’m a person who cannot separate cooking from gardening. When I can grow something, even a single flower, and use that in a home-cooked recipe, I’m in my happy place.

Join me in enjoying the good life in cooking seasonal, garden-inspired recipes that just beg to be eaten outside on a picnic blanket.

I’m a new mom living in Northern CA with my husband, too many chickens, and more fruit trees growing than I know what to do with. I’m a landscape designer and contractor and Prunella Picnic is just pure joy for me.
