Querétaro Mexico Temple Grounds Near Completion

Landscaping is progressing around the Querétaro Mexico Temple, where young palm trees, shrubs, and ground cover are being planted throughout the grounds. Paved walkways and patterned hardscape create a network of paths leading to the temple entrance, while workers continue finishing the landscaped beds and surrounding pedestrian areas. Decorative black lamp posts and low stone borders define the walkways and planting areas, bringing the grounds closer to completion. The temple's white exterior stands prominently against the surrounding urban skyline.
