Earl Burns Miller Japanese Garden field trip
x
Established as an educational resource for the California State University at Long Beach campus and surrounding community, the garden boasts the university's interest in international education and student engagement.
It acts as an outdoor classroom for the visual arts and sciences, as well as a scene for student mentoring and internships. The garden is arranged in a hybrid art form that combines typical elements of Japanese garden design with elements of its Southern California location, and the vision of its founders, Earl and Loraine Miller, who shared a passion for the outdoors, and gardening in particular. Mrs. Miller made a generous donation in her husband's honor after his passing. Honorably so, the 1.3-acre plot was named after him.
Requests and reservations for both self-guided and docent-led tours must be made a minimum of 2 weeks in advance. Due to the popularity of the garden, they do not accept any unscheduled groups.
