A vertical photograph of a garden featuring a pond surrounded by various trees, rocks, and greenery under a cloudy sky. In the foreground, a still pond contains lily pads with small pink flowers and tall, green reeds emerging from the water. Large, smooth boulders line the edge of the water near dense green bushes and a cluster of vibrant pink flowers on the right. right. In the middle distance, a person walks along a light-colored stone path near umbrellas nestled among the trees. The background consists of several tall, leafy trees against a bright, overcast sky.

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
