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

A garden scene featuring a pond surrounded by rocks and lush vegetation. In the foreground, pink water lilies and green lily pads float near tall, green reeds. Several large, smooth boulders are partially submerged in the water. The background contains various trees, pink flowering bushes, and a stone lantern near a gravel area. Figures are seated under white umbrellas in the far distance.

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
