Come to the Garden!


June makes me think of gardens, and gardens make me think of that hidden treasure of the CSULB campus – the Earl Burns Miller Japanese Garden. In less than a square block, the park combines a koi pond, a tea house and a zen garden with restful, graceful simplicity. A couple of June events there caught my eye. On June 7, Arts Day runs from 10 am to 4 pm with Japanese dance and music plus art projects like paper marbling and flower painting. Admission is $7, and there is free parking in Lot 16.

Then, on June 26, there’ll be a fundraiser for the garden. Concert pianist Sonya Kumiko Lee will perform classical favorites under the stars. Tickets go for $60 with hors d’oeuvres at 6:30 pm and the concert at 7 pm.
