First Rural Immersion of the Season! Franklin College

Students and staff from Franklin College traveled all the way from Indiana to spend time at the Agape Community. During their stay they transformed the Agape homestead from winter to spring! We are grateful for their hard work. The garden looks refreshed after their weeding and raking, and the vegetable garden already has some new additions…

The garden is already starting to look refreshed!
