A view of an indoor seating area in a mall, framed by dark red maple leaves in the foreground and top. The center of the image features a curved wooden bench enclosed by a low, grey, slatted fence and surrounded by greenery and tall purple flowers. A small television screen displaying a colorful, mosaic-like image is positioned within the fenced area.

“Welcome to the California ‘Room’ Garden where there is no clear boundary between garden and room, no enclosed wall, no barrier – just a seamless transition that makes you feel relaxed and at ease while your field of vision fills with an intimate, meditative landscape. The composition is restrained, but never empty — every element feels intentional. This is a garden you don’t just visit – you live with. Designed by Saddleback College.”

Dedicated in April 1981, the 1.3 acre garden was built through the generosity of Mrs. Loraine Miller Collins in memory of her late husband, Earl Burns Miller. Following three years of planning, in cooperation with California State University Long Beach, landscape architect Edward R. Lovell was chosen to oversee its creation. The resulting garden reflects the university’s continued interest in international education, student and community engagement, as well as the Miller’s interests in nature and wellness.  The university is delighted to share this educational, cultural, and aesthetic resource with you. – CSULB

A decorative show garden lounge area is situated inside a shopping mall, framed by dark red leaves. A wooden plank path leads through green plants and flowers toward a circular seating area made of gray stone and wooden seats. In the center of the seating is a yellow fire pit with logs, positioned in front of a large black screen and a patterned diamond tile. A blue lion head statue with a gold crown sits beside the path.
