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

Posted on by

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

DON’T force a rock gar-
den into your scheme,
or include it, unless, in the
place you have chosen Nature
could conceivably, even in her
most eccentric mood, have
here flung down a heap of
heterogeneous stones !
