[MonashCommunityGarden] Permaculture course

[Tim Scott]

Hi Terry & Cathy,

A couple of us with exam-only assessment were thinking of just catching up
on missed lectures, but let's shoot for November instead.  Should we bring
the proposal for the end of year course to next SEN, in conjunction with an
adjusted grant application to TOES?  Or do you think it's something to
arrange during Semester 2?

Sorry for the short notice.  And thanks for the ongoing support!

Tim
