Juniper Green Village Association
The Juniper Green Village Association (JGVA) represents the communities of Juniper Green and Baberton Mains and the website posts details of major planning applications, environmental projects, local news and hosts local discussion. JGVA is sponsoring a number of community projects during 2008. Some of the projects initiated during the Juniper Green 300 tercentenary celebration are ongoing and are being stewarded by the JGVA.
The project to erect a monument in the village is progressing. A letter from the Council has confirmed that the grassed area next to the tennis courts (Coordinates 55.9048 N, 3.2867 W) would be suitable for erection of a Juniper Green 300 monument.
Another project to provide new signs at the boundary of Juniper Green and Baberton Mains, has received support in principle from the Edinburgh City Council. A suggested design for the signs can be viewed at the JGVA website where comments about the proposal can be logged.
The JGVA website is the new home for much of the community history previously presented on the Juniper Green 300 web site. The Juniper Green 300 website closed in November 2008.

Bring me my Arrows of desire:
Bring me my Spear: O clouds unfold!

In England’s green & pleasant Land.”

I have come not to mind if certain people live in villages and some of my friends still appear to live in villages and a village can be cozy as well as intuitive but must one really keep perpetually explaining and elucidating?”
