Unlike some free seed libraries, the Free Seed Library is not a seed exchange, and the Library can only accept unopened, commercial seed packets as donations to the collection.

Seed suppliers are not permitted to sell seed packets from the previous growing season because they are not expected to be 100% viable, so millions of seeds go to waste each year.

The Longmont Free Seed Library aims to minimize that waste and maximize the savings and fun for local gardeners.

Seeds are donated by patrons or purchased by the Friends of the Longmont Library. The Free Seed Library will be set up near the Adults Reference Desk on the second floor of the Library; seed packets available while supplies last.

Patrons are asked to limit their selection to 6 seed packets per household. The Library’s goal is to provide seeds to as many local gardeners as possible. 

The Free Seed Library launches on Monday, February 23, 2026.

The used coffee grounds are placed in large silver bags with a “Grounds For Your Garden” label and can be found in a basket or bucket near the front door.

Be prepared, the bags can sometimes leak. As a result, you may want to be prepared with a large plastic bag in your car to transport them home. Otherwise, you might find a very large coffee stain in the backseat of your car. 

The availability varies by store. Some days, you’ll find several bags and other times it will be empty. The best part is that with so many Starbucks locations, it’s easy to check multiple cafés in your travels.

On occasion, they can also be found at Starbucks locations within other stores — King Soopers, Safeway and Target. 

In its more than 20 years, Grounds For Your Garden has evolved to become an important part of Starbucks effort to reduce the environmental impact of its stores. The program serves as another way to reuse coffee grounds.

Here is what you need to know courtesy of Denver’s Office of the City Forester

Apply For a Free Tree

The Office of the City Forester has planted more than 10,000 free trees for Denver property owners who have space for a tree in their public right-of-way. . Once you do, an arborist or tree professional will carefully evaluate your space and determine the best kind of tree for your property.

If you qualify, the new tree will be delivered and planted along with specific instructions for how to immediately provide the best care for your tree to ensure a healthy future.

This program is open to property owners, including businesses and condominium associations, across the city of Denver.

GAP Plan

The Office of the City Forester launched the Ash Tree Gap Removal & Replacement Program to remove and replace smaller, poor-condition ash trees in the public right-of-way throughout the city.

Currently, the program is focused on Denver’s southwest and northeast neighborhoods, although .

Forestry Neighborhood Initiative

The Denver Forestry Neighborhood Initiative is dedicated to pruning or removing trees that pose a risk to public safety. This initiative also includes planting trees in the public right-of-way, as space allows. The program is currently focused on specific neighborhoods in southwest Denver.

Property owners who qualify for a free tree or for tree maintenance at their property will receive a letter and a postcard from the Office of the City Forester outlining which service(s) they qualify for and how to claim them.

However, everyone in Denver is eligible for a free tree planting, so property owners can if they think they have space in their public right-of-way.

Trees provided free by the Office of the City Forester are a public amenity and must be planted in the public right-of-way, but that doesn’t mean you should ignore the opportunity to plant a tree in your yard.

If you are looking to add a tree to your yard, consider that do well in our unique climate.
