Testimonials

"The first time I visited the Japanese Garden I was an 8th grader in middle school. Seeing the garden was the experience that made me want to attend Cal State Long Beach. I knew right away that Cal State Long Beach was the school for me. As soon as I stepped foot into the garden, I immediately fell in love with it. The Garden was so peaceful and tranquil compared to the rest of the world. I love how the Garden gives the school a sense of community, and a safe place to visit, away from all the problems of the world." - Sarah Z.

"When I was an undergrad student at CSULB, I worked as an aide in a middle school special education class at Long Beach Unified School District. The teacher I worked with decided that our class should visit the campus for a field trip and the Japanese garden was the first place we visited. As someone who still works in special education, I noticed that sometimes people give us judgmental stares when we take our students with disabilities out into the community. However, when our class visited the Japanese garden the tour guide was patient and welcoming. The Japanese Garden is a gorgeous place hosted by compassionate people and I hope that I can find a local teaching position so I can take my future students to visit someday." - Melissa M.

"Our daughter had a wonderful evening wedding In the Japanese Garden. She and her husband are both scientists who do extensive field research and wanted an outdoor wedding. The garden was beautiful, unique, and provided a perfect venue enjoyed by all our guests." - Helen M.

"Because of Covid, it wasn't that long ago we started to visit the garden, but my 2 year old toddler LOVES this beautiful Garden. He had his first experience feeding the Koi fish at your Garden. Thank you Earl Burns Miller Japanese Garden for the wonderful memories! Plus, the coordinator Maria and all the staff are always very helpful and cool!" - Hearim
