Aproxima SCIO is an environmental art charity that is dedicated to the advancement of citizenship and community, through collaborating with communities to make high quality horticultural and cultural events and intiatives. We run a community garden in North Glasgow that takes is some of the most deprived areas in Glasgow completely on a volunteer basis providing fresh food and informal teaching to participants from the age of 2-75 years old. We are currently working on a city wide initiative building spring and wildflower memorials in the Glasgow Necropolis garden cemetery, marking areas of common graves, remembering through improved green spaces, where 21,000 people were too poor to have headstones. We undertake capital development and revenue and maintenance support for beautiful new green spaces which are all improved through the direct participation of our targeted and public volunteers.
