Earl Burns Miller Japanese Garden

The intimate perfection of the Earl Burns Miller Japanese Garden creates a romantic setting to share a once in a lifetime moment with your loved ones. The site’s privacy and impeccably maintained grounds attract couples seeking a unique outdoor space. Surrounded by tall trees, the elegant 1.3 acre garden features a lush green landscape, shimmering koi pond, and sparkling waterfalls underneath a picturesque bridge. Situated on the campus of CSU Long Beach, this Japanese-style garden was built through a generous donation from Mrs. Loraine Miller Collins in honor of her late husband Earl Burns Miller. The garden is a hybrid art form that combines typical elements of Japanese garden design within the context of its Southern California location, and the vision of its founder. The impeccable combination of nature and beauty come together with every piece of the garden, providing a peaceful setting for your wedding celebration.

The Garden is a living museum, a place of learning, art and culture for all who enter its gates. Come feed our playful koi, stroll the winding pathways, view the Tea House, or reflect at the Zen Garden. Each season unfolds with colorful blossoms, exciting cultural celebrations, and intriguing exhibits.
