Anna Sheehy founded Wild Fennel in 2022, after the birth of her first daughter, inspired by a desire to bring something new, artisan, and deeply thoughtful to her community in Novato. She envisioned a welcoming space where local artists and makers could be celebrated, and where her own wide-ranging passions—plants, flowers, food, and beautiful housewares—could come together under one roof.

Wild Fennel is a carefully curated collection featuring goods made slowly, responsibly, and with intention, by local artists and makers. The shop proudly supports more than 70 female makers and women-founded brands, with over half of the entire collection made in California.

We believe the items that fill your home should carry meaning and joy—for both the people who create them, and for those who live with them. We hope you feel inspired by the selection we’ve gathered and look forward to seeing you at the shop soon!
