It was a delicious and heartfelt way to honor the Hispanic culture and show appreciation for the dedicated associates who help make Juniper Village a vibrant place to live and work.

Taking advantage of the beautiful fall weather, Juniper hosted a variety of outdoor activities, including a weekend visit from Ashley and Jen from Drew University, who led a creative Picture Frame Making and Bird Seed Hanger craft session.
