I think you are a
Typewriter
I have keys, but I don’t open any locks.
The typewriter has keys for typing letters
I got a ribbon but I didn’t win, place or show.
A typewriter has an ink ribbon for transferring pigment to paper
I need some help from nature to be useful
Pieces of paper, made from trees and usually called "leaves", so could be a play on words.
Part 2
It's usually said that typewriter the longest word which you can type only using the top row of letters.
Hint
"The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog" is a sentence that uses all the letters of the alphabet and can be used to check a typewriter is functioning correctly.
