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.

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 close-up, shallow depth-of-field shot focusing on an arrangement of potted succulents. On the left, a Kalanchoe tomentosa (panda plant) features thick, vertical leaves covered in soft, fuzzy, silvery-grey hairs. To its right sits a rosette-shaped succulent with smooth, fleshy, pale blue-green leaves tinged with a hint of pink at the sharp tips. Behind it, a dark reddish-purple succulent rosette provides contrast. In the softly blurred background, a weathered galvanized metal watering can and hints of outdoor garden foliage are visible.
