MIFFLINBURG — Lisa Podlesny and Kelly Brown spent a leisurely Saturday afternoon walking through Lori Weaver’s pollinator garden in Mifflinburg.
“Look at all those little moths,” Brown said, pointing to the insects fluttering around the front yard where Weaver has created a habitat for bees, butterflies, hummingbirds and moths with numerous plants, flowers and shrubs like Culver’s root, Joe Pye-weed, beardtongues and white coneflower.
