A B O U T
The Grassland Ghosts box is a tribute to Southern California's diverse native grasslands. Come Spring, soft swaying bud stalks burst open to flower until Fall, when they shimmer and gently wilt into autumnal earthy hues. We love the tactile nature of this box where sweet, spicy sage crunches beneath the feet, and sumptuous, lumpy savannah-like grass seedheads tickle up the thigh.
