Reviews From DofE Participants

who chose Cactus Appreciation for their Skills Section

I enjoyed the course as it showed me how to look after my cacti better. The key thing that I learned, and what I found the most useful, was that I shouldn’t water my cacti during the winter months.

I have enjoyed the interactive and effective videos, quizzes and the podcast, they have been very useful and interesting. I have learned so much about succulents and their incredible adaptation, and i hope to continue learning and expanding my knowledge of these beautiful plants even after completing the course.

A.P. Bronze DofE Award Participant

I learnt more about different varieties of cactus and succulents, I feel better able to care for my cactus that I have at home. I found out where some types of cactus are grown in their native habitat. I learnt about types of soil for cactus to grow in at home.
