Thanks for the inspo JP! Here’s a few extra recommendations from me for anyone needing 100% compostable undyed and unbleached dried materials:

Wheat and oats - great for harvest, Thanksgiving;

Statice, Amaranthus, Larkspur, Globe Thistle, Achillea (yarrow) - keep their colour well (darkened or faded from fresh, but still lovely;

Allium - the larger the better. I have lovely neighbours who give me theirs at the end of the season!

Nigella seed heads - beautiful, but they will pop and send their tiny black seeds flying!

Undyed Pampas Grass looks good (for those of you who have it in your front gardens 🤭), but it sheds and the remedy (spraying with hairspray) makes it non-compostable. I’ve used it outside in a Christmas garland and it held up well. Oops - I just said the C-word!
