Exchange works on an honor system

In a wooden box at the Seaside Library, drawers of herb, vegetable and flower starts have formed a new seed library, an idea that has also taken root at the Warrenton Community Library.
Both libraries have partnered with Clatsop County Master Gardeners to create the new seed exchange programs, which rely on donated seeds, seed packets and propagated plant cuttings.
“It’s typically what people have on hand, so those are melons, squash, a lot of herbs, especially the ones that grow well in this climate like lavender, thyme and rosemary, and then a lot of flowers,” Jessica Sollaccio, president of the Clatsop County Master Gardeners, said of the donated items.
