Rock Garden, Earl Burns Miller Japanese Garden, CSULB, Long Beach, California [Photography]

An outdoor garden features light gray gravel raked into concentric circular patterns around several large, flat stones. In the middle ground, a gnarled pine tree grows from a patch of green moss on the right side. The background is composed of a dense, dark green hedge and taller trees. Smaller patches of moss and additional rocks are scattered across the raked gravel area. The image is captured from a slightly high-angle perspective.

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
