With blossoms year-round, cultural events, and rotating exhibits. There’s always something to do at Long Beach State’s Japanese Garden.

Dedicated in April 1981, the 1.3-acre garden was built following a generous gift from Mrs. Loraine Miller Collins in memory of her late husband, Earl Burns Miller.
