RELAX, PLAY & ENTERTAIN

Step inside your new outdoor living space. Bring the comfort of home to the yard while you lounge on your shaded outdoor bed and take in the garden sights. Lovely shade trees and 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 kitchen. Watch the sun go down on a perfect day as you bring the inside to your outdoor retreat.

Twisted Oak [Prints Available]

This vertical shot looks up into the dramatic, winding canopy of an ancient oak tree. The heavy, dark branches twist and loop through the frame like natural sculptures, creating an intricate web against the sky. Surrounded by dense, layered green foliage and smaller forest undergrowth, this perspective gives you the immersive feeling of standing deep within a hidden grove.

Lantern, Earl Burns Miller Japanese Garden, CSULB, Long Beach, California

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.
