Does anyone know of to-the-trade sources for leaf mold and compost (especially in our near southeastern Wisconsin)?

I'm seeking a natural-looking mulch for one of my current projects, a woodland garden. I don't think shredded hardwood mulch is in keeping with the garden's look. Our local botanical garden uses (privately supplied) leaf mold in their perennial gardens, and it looks great.

Thanks in advance for any help.

The townships around here have composted leaf piles for sale. Sometimes the local garden centers carry it as well.

The commercial bagged leaf mold products I have seen are just super fine mulch.
