Lantern, Earl Burns Miller Japanese Garden, CSULB, Long Beach, California

A black and white photograph shows a multi-tiered stone pagoda situated within a lush, wooded garden. The scene is framed by the thick, textured trunk of a tree on the right and large branches arching across the top of the frame. In the center, the small stone structure stands among various trees and plants. A large rock rests in the midground, surrounded by leafy groundcover and ferns. The background consists of dense, overlapping foliage and more trees.

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 vertical photograph shows a lush, green garden featuring a small stream and an arched bridge. In the center, a white, low-arched bridge with horizontal railings spans across a narrow waterway. The dark water of the stream reflects the surrounding greenery and contains several pink water lilies on floating green lily pads. Manicured evergreen shrubs, rocks, and patches of purple flowers line the edges of the water. A variety of tall, dense green trees and pine branches frame the scene against a blue sky with light clouds.

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.
