Earl Burns Miller Japanese Garden, Japanese garden at California State University Long Beach, United States.

The Earl Burns Miller Japanese Garden is a Japanese garden on the campus of California State University Long Beach, with koi ponds, winding paths, and a traditional tea house. The garden sits within the university grounds and combines water features, stone arrangements, and planted areas in a compact setting.

The garden was created thanks to a donation from Loraine Miller Collins in memory of her late husband Earl Burns Miller. It stands as a privately funded memorial within the university campus.

The garden reflects Japanese design traditions through its arranged stone compositions, flowing water, and plant placement that follow time-tested methods. Visitors experience how these elements work together to create a sense of balance throughout the space.

The garden is closed on Saturdays, when it is often rented out for weddings and receptions, and on Mondays. Plan a visit on the remaining days of the week. Entry is free, and the garden sits on the California State University, Long Beach campus at 1250 Bellflower Boulevard.

Trenching for the garden in the early 1970s uncovered evidence of the Tongva village of Puvunga, whose site lies next to the garden. The garden also hosts an annual koi auction and a chrysanthemum show.
