July 08, 2026Azalea Flowers, Earl Burns Miller Japanese Garden, CSULB, Long Beach, California [Prints Available]
Follow me on Instagram at @douglaswelch, @dewdesignphoto, and @agardenersnotebook and Pixelfed.
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

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.

RELAX, PLAY & ENTERTAIN
Step inside your new outdoor living space. Bring the comfort of home to the yard while you lounge on yc shaded outdoor bed and take in the garden sights. Lovely shade trees, native and low-water plants create garden rooms that welcome children and pets with treats and water play areas. Later enjoy your private shower under the sun and then sip beverages while you enjoy appetizers and pizza from your chef’s kitchen. Watch the sun go down on a perfect day as you bring the inside to your outdoor retreat.

“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.”
