Get down to earth at the upcoming organics workshop and compost site tour. The educational affair, set for May 1 after a rain delay, aims to clue residents into the city's organics collection program. The half-day event will give attendees the chance to see green practices in action with a trip to the Shakopee Mdewakanton Sioux Community compost site, as reported by the City of St. Louis Park, Minnesota.

Originally planned for this week, the workshop hit a snag with soggy weather, but local greenthumbs will have their chance to soak up some knowledge instead of raindrops come next Wednesday. A three-hour window, from 1:30 to 4:30 p.m., is allocated for the eco-friendly excursion. Those keen on keeping their carbon footprint small should hurry though, as spots are as limited as fertile ground in a concrete jungle. Registration for the exclusive tour tops off at 20 participants, and it's first-come, first-served, according to the City of St. Louis Park, Minnesota.

Interested city dwellers are urged to reserve their spot by visiting the official St. Louis Park Facebook page, where details and registration information are posted.
