[MonashCommunityGarden] Permaculture course

[Tim Scott]

Terry,

FYI re. below email.

There's a '4 for the price of 3'  discount.

Also, some students are keen but unable to do the course this time round
(would love to do it in November).

We realise this is very late scramble for cash.  Looking into ways we can
fund too.

Regards,
Tim
