O ne thing we love to do as a family is grab a picnic basket and settle down at the park to spend time together. The weather ...

Enjoy the beauty of D.C.’s cherry blossoms while they last with a spread of spring salads, pink sweets and more.

This picnic can be carried in a backpack with hand wipes and paper napkins. It's easy to make, easy to carry and you'll have happy paradegoers. Oven-fried chicken is perfect finger food.

Cool down at your picnic with a jug of one of our easy summer cocktails. Try a fruity daiquiri, refreshing mojito or a classic long drink made with Pimms.

These recipes, by Gattermayr and Richards, from the menu entitled Sumptuous Picnic Fare, are ideal for an outdoor gathering in the style of those regularly enjoyed in Heide’s gardens.
