2 C goldenrod
1 C dried lovage (or dried celery) leaves
1/2 C sunflower seed
1/2 C pumpkin seeds
1 C evening primrose pods
1/2 C squash seeds
2 C dried basil leaves and flowers
1 C Indian corn

Makes a colorful and fresh-scented potpourri for display in open, glass containers. After Thanksgiving, throw out potpourri for the birds; the leaves will blow away, and the birds will take care of the seeds and nuts.
