An indoor scene features various plants and a wooden structure with a seating area. In the foreground, a large wooden planter on the left holds dark purple foliage, while the ground contains green plants, grasses, small pink flowers, and white circular objects set in dark soil. A light-co light-colored wooden slatted path leads toward a black metal lounge chair near a structure draped in sheer white curtains. Inside the curtained area, area, there is a white cushioned bench with round green and beige pillows beneath a large woven wicker pendant light.

SWING INTO SPRING

This garden display highlights the fluidity between indoor and outdoor living, designed to serve as an open-air extension of the home into the garden. The warm palette and comfortable furnishings create a sanctuary that balances structural privacy with organic softness. At the heart of the design is a suspended swing, reimagining the traditional garden bench as a luxury interior piece. This garden offers a peaceful, flowing connection – a destination tailored for indoor/outdoor enjoyment.

A close-up photograph shows a dense cluster of pink and purple flowers. The blossoms range in color from vibrant magenta to pale pink with darker pink markings near their centers. Many petals feature white edges and delicate dark pink speckles or streaks. Thin stamens extend from the center of several flowers, which are interspersed with dark green leaves. The overlapping blooms fill the entire frame.

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

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.

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.

A large, vertical floral and wildlife sculpture stands in the center of a multi-level, brightly lit shopping atrium. The centerpiece features a tree- tree-like structure with branches covered in clusters of pinkish-purple flowers and white spherical blossoms, accented by figurines of birds in flight and a deer. Below the branches, animal figures like squirrels are nestled among mossy surfaces alongside patches of yellow wildflowers and green ferns. The base of the installation is a large, textured brown mound surrounded by dense greenery and more yellow flowers. In the background, multiple curved balconies of the mall are visible under a blue dome ceiling, with people walking along the lower levels behind a gold-colored railing.

“Welcome to the California ‘Room’ Garden where there is no clear boundary between garden and room, no enclosed wall, no barrier – just a seamless transition that makes you feel relaxed and at ease while your field of vision fills with an intimate, meditative landscape. The composition is restrained, but never empty — every element feels intentional. This is a garden you don’t just visit – you live with. Designed by Saddleback College.”

A vertical, high-angle shot of an elaborate backyard-themed indoor display inside a shopping mall. In the foreground, a modern, woven white wicker chair sits on a patch of artificial green grass, facing away from the camera toward a cozy wooden structure. To the left of the chair is a rusted spherical metal fire pit with a lit candle inside. The centerpiece is a dark-stained wooden shed or cabana with an open front, arranged like an outdoor living room. Inside, a cream-colored sofa is styled with several floral and textured throw pillows under a glowing, pleated pendant light. An acoustic guitar rests on a stand in front of the cabana next to a gravel path. The display is lushly landscaped with potted trees, green shrubs, and small flowers in large white textured planters, all bordered by dark mulch and a wooden frame on a tiled mall walkway.

“A boho-inspired reading retreat featuring a raised deck with a cozy daybed, angled design lines, and a sculptural moon window. Warm textures, lush greenery, tranquil water and fire features create an inviting outdoor book nook perfect for relaxing, daydreaming and finishing that favorite chapter. Designed By Urban Ecology & Studio”
