When the temperature feels just right for a picnic, you know it’s about time you rolled out the Komorebi picnic blanket. When the weather becomes so pleasant, it feels like a crime when you’re not in the nearest outdoor space having fun.

- A beautiful location.
- Cohesive theme.

Location
Location is an important consideration in real estate, the same as planning your picnic location. It helps you plan your attire and food – if you have to hike to the location, you don’t want to serve an elaborate spread or wear wedges and sundresses.

Field of flowers
Enjoy the beauty that mother nature has to offer while basking in the sun's rays. The perfect lunch choice here will be the one that highlights seasonal and locally grown ingredients.
Greenhouse Picnic
If the weather does not favor an outdoor picnic, relocate your picnic indoor, use a covered space like a greenhouse.
