Participants will first go to the Eagan Civic Arena to see the recently-installed geothermal system, which saves energy and reduces the City's energy costs. Next, the tour will be visiting Kedem Garden and Nursery in Hastings, a certified organic farm that specializes in organic produce and roses.
Participants will enjoy a picnic lunch at the pavilion at Eagan Central Park.
