Flowers add color and beauty to the Sydney Australia Temple grounds.

For the third year in a row, Willem Dautzenberg, temple landscape gardener, and his assistant, Matthew Munn, are dressing the grounds of the temple with the idea of pleasing the people of the community and bringing pleasure to the temple patrons.For the past two years the gardens have won the community council's first prize for beauty.

"The people appreciate the garden as they walk through to have a look," Dautzenberg said. "We design and lay out the garden so we will have color year-round. I have been a member of the Church for 12 years and I feel it is a special honor to be able to add to the beauty of the temple."
