Locopops to Locopints
by Victoria Bouloubasis

Sticky summer air has seeped into our lives. Our gardens are flourishing and our appetites for cool treats are strong. Locopops (128 E. Franklin St. and 231 S. Elliott Road, Chapel Hill; 2600 Hillsborough Road, Durham; 1908 Hillsborough St., Raleigh; www.ilovelocopops.com) makes the most of these two seasonal phenomena by creating handcrafted popsicles using local herbs and fruit.

Plus, Duke Gardens herb school on June 10 and Core Sound Seafood offers first community-supported fishery in Chapel Hill/Carborro. Read full column here.
