A photograph of an alcove with dark wood framing and a light-colored back wall. On the left, a floral arrangement with long, thin green leaves and dark reddish-brown flowers is in a patterned cylindrical pot resting on a small wooden base. To the right, a light-colored vertical hanging scroll is suspended from a single cord, featuring a small central image with red and black details. The floor of the alcove is covered in a light-colored, textured mat. A dark, textured wooden pillar is partially visible on the far left edge.

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 black and white close-up photograph of large, textured flower petals. The petals, occupying the bottom and right side of the frame, feature prominent veins and deep folds. High-contrast lighting highlights the ridges and creases across the petal surfaces. The background is dark and out of focus, containing a few small, blurred white highlights. A dark, blurry texture is visible in the lower-left corner.

An outdoor scene features a large, green-colored pond surrounded by lush greenery and trees. In the foreground, a wide area is covered with smooth, dark, rounded stones, accompanied by a small green bush and a stone lantern on the left. Two people stand near the water's edge on the left side of the pond. To the right, a wooden deck with a railing extends over the water, shaded by several large patio umbrellas. Tall trees and dense foliage fill the background under a bright sky with light clouds.
