Follow me on Instagram at @douglaswelch, @dewdesignphoto, and @agardenersnotebook and Pixelfed. 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. – CSULB

A great public garden can change your whole day and sometimes your whole life. We sit down with Seth Hamby, Director of Living Collections at the Fort Worth Botanic Garden, to talk about the real work behind a place that feels effortless to visitors: the plant records, the people, the science, and the stories that turn a landscape into a living collection. We trace Seth's path into horticulture through volunteering, fieldwork, and conservation genetics, including research on an endemic Texas prairie clover and statewide genome collecting tied to the Smithsonian Global Genome Initiative for Gardens. Then we go behind the scenes at Fort Worth Botanic Garden as it earns the ASHS HortLandmark designation, exploring what makes it a standout public garden in the Dallas Fort Worth area, from the Rose Garden and famously peaceful Japanese Garden to a rainforest conservatory and seasonal Butterflies in the Garden.We also get practical about collections management including why GPS mapping matters and how a modern plant database supports research, education, and better visitor experiences. Seth also shares how volunteers help sustain the accredited Begonia collection and other details. We close with what we wish every student knew about careers in public horticulture, internships, and building opportunities by showing up consistently.Subscribe for more conversations on Plants, People, Science, then share this episode with a friend who loves botanic gardens and leave us a review.

Japanese garden designer Kazuyuki Ishihara won a silver-gilt medal at the Chelsea Flower Show starting in London on Tuesday.

As detailed in The Japanese Garden: Ella Christie and Cowden (Birlinn, 2026) by Lucy Stewart, at the turn of the twentieth century, Scottish adventurer Ella Christie returned home from a trip to Japan inspired to build her own Japanese garden. As might be expected from a woman who thought nothing of travelling to the other side of the world in search of the unusual, Ella's approach to developing the garden was trailblazing. She chose a female designer – the gifted Taki Handa – to create the seven-acre site in the grounds of Cowden Castle, near the Scottish town of Dollar. In doing so, the Japanese Garden at Cowden became the first and only garden of its size and scale to be designed by a woman. It remains a unique and utterly authentic bridge between British and Japanese culture. This book tells the remarkable story of Ella Christie, her travels and the creation of her garden, its gradual decline and triumphant restoration. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

Blake and Jeb go In Research Of PAST LIVES with Leonard Nimoy. Subjects include reincarnation claims, past-life regression therapy, and some truly baffling Nimoy wardrobe choices. Link to YouTube Episode (while it lasts) Topics we cover include: Nimoy wandering a Los Angeles graveyard in a strange quasi-military sport coat, and Blake's detective work tying the filming location to Evergreen Cemetery in Boyle Heights. The famous Pollock twins case from Hexham, England, where two girls were said to be the reincarnations of their deceased sisters — and how later research complicates the story. Dr. Lucia Capacchione's art-therapy / inner-child work and how the show uses regression narratives to explain modern psychological problems. Playwright A.J. Stewart (Ada F. Kay), who became convinced she was James IV of Scotland and wrote Falcon: The Autobiography of His Grace James IV King of Scots as if from the king's own perspective. Whether past-life regression therapy produces evidence of reincarnation or just vivid, therapist-shaped fantasy, and why skeptics are so wary of hypnosis-based "memories."   NFA (Nimoy Fashion Alert): Cemetery Detective Work: Using the 2nd NFA shot, I was able to decipher the tex on the dark tombstone. It is a lot darker in real life with a modern shot. That "Find a Grave" entry includes the exact location where Nimoy was standing for this episode's cemetery shot. Jeb asked for an animated gif of the woman in the castle with secret doors: The cover of Robert and Loy Young's book about reincarnation: The twins at the heart of the British (Hexham!) reincarnation story: And I can't help but scream - DON'T GO NEAR THE EDGE!!! This episode is such a cliffhanger. Deeper reading & sources mentioned: Pollock twins case write-up at the Society for Psychical Research's Psi Encyclopedia Psi Encyclopedia on famous past-life claims (including A.J. Stewart / Ada F. Kay): Ada F. Kay / A.J.

In this episode we cover traditional Japanese gardens and how ancient gardens were related to nature, geomancy, literature and Japanese concepts of wabi-sabi, yugen, and mono no aware. but how garden design shifted from symbolism and representation to a more naturalistic style as seen in Murin-an, a garden in kyoto. Essays on garden design include entries by Ogawa Jihei (1860-1933), Kengo Kuma, Mira Locher, Japanese monk & garden designer Masuno Shunmyo, and garden historian, critic, and author Tim Richardson.Some of the gardens discussed are: Kagawa Prefectural Office in Takamatsu city, Kengo Kuma and Nezu Museum, Osaka Station Roof Garden, Hyakudanen on Awajishima Island in Hyogo (designed by Tadao Ando), the Carbon Fibre Garden in Tokyo, and the pop-art garden at Teshima Yokoo House.

Summer is underway, and that means events are in full bloom across our beloved Michigan. Here on Behind the Mitten, we'll visit with friends from all over to hear about new festivals, great beaches, new hotels and more on this edition of Behind the Mitten. Jesse Wiederhold is a verfiable Keweenaw Peninsula enthusiast, and his excitement about this part of the state is infectious. We are lucky that Jesse works for Visit Keweenaw, and gets to actually just be excited for his job. He also gets to come up with crazy new ideas to celebrate all the cool things about the Key. He's the man behind Pasty Fest, which returns August 16. He also reveals a brand new festival occuring the weekend of June 20, the Juhannas Summer Solstice Celebration.The Mill at Zehnder Park, a 13,700-square-foot boutique hotel, with four individual large suites is set  to open for bookings in early 2026. A former flour mill, the property was purchased by the Zehnder family in 2022, and renovations promptly began. The new hotel is set to open in 2026, and we go  behind the scenes on this exciting project.Now Ludington gets named as a "best beach" it seems like every year, moving into the national category in the last few years, and we won't lie, it's incredible. In fact, one of our favorite summer events are the beach bonfires held here the third Thursday of every month, with bands, food trucks, and so much fun. Brandy Miller joins us to share all the cool things happening this summer season right on the shores of Lake Michigan.Finally, we catch up with our friends from Frederik Miejer Gardens and Sculpture Park. Summer is when the gardens really shine, sparkle, and shout, with all the outdoor spaces open to visitors and the ampitheatre open for incredible concerts. I'm a personal fan of the children's garden, no matter your age, for awesome interactive exhibits, and the Japanese Garden for quiet gorgeous solitude. Seeing a show here is divine, but get your tickets early, lots of shows sell out. 

The Olympic Peninsula beckons with its captivating blend of lavender-scented fields, historic coastal towns, and magical gardens just waiting to be discovered. Join us, The ROAMies, as we unpack our adventures through this Pacific Northwest gem, starting in Sequim—North America's lavender capital—where purple fields and blueberry farms inspired a special tea blend bearing the town's name.Sequim proved the perfect launch point for our peninsula explorations. The quaint town buzzes with lavender culture, featuring shops like Sunshine Herb and Lavender Farm where everything from culinary seasonings to home goods carries the signature scent. Though we missed the Olympic Game Farm's drive-through safari experience, we'll definitely return for close encounters with bison, bears, and llamas.Our wanderings took us to the stunning Dungeness National Wildlife Refuge, where a rugged trail stretches 11 miles round-trip to a distant lighthouse. We ventured to Port Townsend, a Victorian seaport brimming with maritime charm, art galleries, and the starting point of the ambitious Olympic Discovery Trail—a 130-mile pathway being built along a former railroad corridor connecting communities across the peninsula.The most unexpected adventure came during our cross-border journey to Victoria, British Columbia. A forgotten passport meant one of us explored alone while the other uncovered Port Angeles's hidden gems. Victoria's crown jewel, Butchart Gardens, revealed its century-old splendor through the Sunken Garden (transformed from an abandoned quarry), the star-shaped pond originally designed for ornamental ducks, and meticulously maintained Japanese, Italian, and Rose gardens.• Sequim serves as the perfect home base with its relaxing atmosphere and status as North America's lavender capital• Lavender and blueberry fields inspired a special tea blend named "Sequim"• Sunshine Herb and Lavender Farm offers everything lavender from seasonings to home goods• The Olympic Game Farm provides drive-through wildlife viewing opportunities for families• Dungeness National Wildlife Refuge features an 11-mile round trip beach walk to a lighthouse• Port Townsend charms with Victorian architecture, art galleries, and maritime history• The Olympic Discovery Trail spans from Port Townsend to La Push along a former railroad corridor: https://olympicdiscoverytrail.org/• Victoria's Butchart Gardens showcases stunning themed gardens including the Sunken Garden, Japanese Garden, and Star Pond• Travel mishaps can lead to unexpected adventures, as when one forgot their passport for CanadaWhether you're chasing Twilight filming locations, seeking tranquil lavender rows, or craving coastal hikes, the Olympic Peninsula grounds you in Pacific Northwest beauty while feeding your wanderlust.

Kintsugi is the traditional Japanese art of repairing ceramics with lacquer and gold dust. The idea is to highlight the imperfections of a piece and celebrate its new form, rather than hide its chips and cracks. Artist Naoko Fukumaru wasn’t initially interested in kintsugi — as a conservator at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Detroit Institute of Arts and other institutions, she was focused on rendering imperfections invisible. But after the collapse of her marriage following her move to Canada, she began to appreciate the message of resilience and reinvention that are fundamental to the practice. Fukumaru’s first solo kintsugi exhibition in the U.S. is currently on display at the Portland Japanese Garden and runs through Jan. 27. She joins us to talk more about the exhibit and the message she hopes visitors take from it.

My mother-in-law died in early October, two days before my 60th birthday. We ended up spending almost three weeks in the UK, preparing for her funeral and grieving with family. And now, just after we were beginning to emerge from the worst of the grief cycle, our family and friends are plunged right back into deep grief after the election.I feel numb. My husband and I went to the Japanese Garden yesterday. It was a beautiful day in Portland. We were not alone in seeking solace in the beautiful fall colors. I found myself staring out over our skyline and feeling single tears leaking out of my eyes.I have not had a huge cry over the state of the world. Just single leaking tears.I feel devastated for the country, the world, and the planet.This is my lament.

Fluent Fiction - Hungarian: Reuniting on Margaret Island: Finding Lost Bonds Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.org/reuniting-on-margaret-island-finding-lost-bonds Story Transcript:Hu: Margit-sziget nyári varázsa Budapest közepén terült el.En: Margaret Island's summer magic stretched out in the middle of Budapest.Hu: A napfény szűrődött át a fák lombján, a folyó lassan folydogált körülötte.En: Sunlight filtered through the trees' leaves, and the river flowed slowly around it.Hu: Bálint ott állt a sziget közepén, a zöld réten.En: Bálint stood in the center of the island, on the green meadow.Hu: Családi találkozó volt a szigeten.En: It was a family gathering on the island.Hu: Azon a napon mindenki eljött, hogy újra találkozzanak, nevetgéljenek és emlékezzenek a régi időkre.En: That day, everyone came to meet again, laugh, and reminisce about old times.Hu: Bálint csendes volt.En: Bálint was quiet.Hu: Nem igazán érezte jól magát a zajos társaságban.En: He didn't really feel comfortable in the noisy crowd.Hu: Az ő világában a gondolatok mélyebbek voltak, és a hangos zaj túlságosan elfedte őket.En: In his world, thoughts were deeper, and the loud noise overshadowed them too much.Hu: Éppen emiatt Bálint távolinak érezte magát az unokatestvéreitől is, különösen Emesétől.En: Because of this, Bálint felt distant from his cousins, especially Emese.Hu: Emese bohém volt, mindig a figyelem középpontjában.En: Emese was bohemian, always the center of attention.Hu: Jól érezte magát a tömegben, mesélt, nevetett más unokatestvérekkel.En: She felt at ease in the crowd, telling stories, laughing with other cousins.Hu: Bálint nézte őt, emlékezve a régi napokra, amikor még ők ketten voltak a legjobb barátok.En: Bálint watched her, recalling the old days when they were best friends.Hu: Vajon mi történt, amitől olyan messzire kerültek egymástól?En: What had happened to make them drift so far apart?Hu: Bálint úgy döntött, megkeresi a lehetőséget, hogy beszéljen Emesével.En: Bálint decided to find a chance to talk to Emese.Hu: Lassan sétált a Japánkert irányába, ahol csendesebb volt a hangulat.En: He walked slowly towards the Japanese Garden, where it was quieter.Hu: Az ősi kőhíd alatt csobogott a kis patak.En: Under the ancient stone bridge, a small creek babbled.Hu: Az évek távolsága nem tűnhetett áthidalhatatlannak ilyen környezetben.En: The years' distance didn't seem insurmountable in such an environment.Hu: Emese is sétált arra, elgondolkodva.En: Emese was walking there too, lost in thought.Hu: Bálint összeszedte bátorságát. Odaért mellé, köszöntötte: "Szia, Emese! Ráérsz egy kicsit?"En: Bálint gathered his courage and approached her, greeted her: "Hi, Emese! Got a moment?"Hu: Emese bólintott, megállt, és Bálint szemébe nézett.En: Emese nodded, stopped, and looked into Bálint's eyes.Hu: A pillanat komoly volt, mint amikor régi barátok próbálják visszanyerni a kapcsolatot.En: The moment was serious, like when old friends try to regain their connection.Hu: Bálint lassan kérdezte: "Gondolkodtál róla, miért távolodtunk el egymástól?"En: Bálint asked slowly, "Have you thought about why we grew apart?"Hu: Emese sóhajtott, a napfény félkörökben csillogott a vízen.En: Emese sighed, sunlight glittered in semicircles on the water.Hu: "Én is gondolkodtam rajta," mondta csendesen.En: "I have thought about it," she said quietly.Hu: "Annyira elfoglaltak lettünk, én is benne vagyok mások életében, de ez nem mentség."En: "We've become so busy, I'm involved in other people's lives too, but that's no excuse."Hu: Az őszinte szavak elindították a beszélgetést.En: The sincere words sparked the conversation.Hu: Mindketten elmondták, hogyan változtak az évek alatt.En: They both shared how they had changed over the years.Hu: Hogyan a felnőtté válás hozott távolságot köztük.En: How growing up had brought distance between them.Hu: De a megbeszélés során felfedezték, hogy még mindig megértik egymást.En: But through the conversation, they discovered they still understood each other.Hu: A beszélgetés végére megegyeztek: "Tartsuk a kapcsolatot! Ne hagyjuk, hogy újra eltávolodjunk."En: By the end of the conversation, they agreed: "Let's keep in touch! Let's not let distance grow again."Hu: Bálint hirtelen könnyebbnek érezte magát, mint azelőtt.En: Bálint suddenly felt lighter than before.Hu: Tudta, hogy nyitottnak kell lennie, akár a családdal való kapcsolattartásban is.En: He realized he had to be open, even in maintaining family connections.Hu: A nap végén a családi összejövetel zsivaja lassan elült.En: At the end of the day, the noise of the family gathering gradually subsided.Hu: De Bálint és Emese között újra virágzott a régi kötődés, most már elkötelezve, hogy megőrizzék azt.En: But between Bálint and Emese, the old bond flourished again, now committed to preserving it.Hu: Margit-sziget a barátságuk új otthona lett, az emberek szívében lévő kis békesziget.En: Margaret Island became the new home of their friendship, a small island of peace in people's hearts.Hu: És mindketten tudták, a legnehezebb távolság csak egy gondolat távolsága maradt köztük.En: And both knew, the hardest distance was only a thought away between them.

Yesterday was a very simple, very good day. One of my favorite kinds of day.We were with close friends. The kind of friends you love and respect immensely and also who you can be entirely just you with. The best kind.Our plan was so simple it almost wasn't a plan at all. To wander around a small town and … well, that was it. It was one of those days when nothing really happened and yet, a lot happened.Yesterday we explored a small town with friends with the top down in our Jeep and it reminded me of why I love a car whose top can come down.Yesterday I was amazed by a cactus garden. Which says a lot because I'm not a cactus person. And I'm still not a cactus person but experiencing this cactus garden was so weirdly unexpected that it has lodged itself in the front of my memory. Like if you visited the Grand Canyon and of course it was wondrous but just as you were leaving you saw a 10' tall chicken standing by the side of the road and now, instead of the Grand Canyon, all you can think about is that chicken.Yesterday my friends and I decided to try out a Mexican restaurant we'd never been to before and ended up eating one of the most perfect Mexican meals any of us can remember. Can a margarita made with mangos and habeñero infused tequila give you new purpose in life on a summer afternoon? It just might.Yesterday I sat for a few minutes in a Japanese Garden and realized we could solve all the world's problems if we could just get everyone on the planet to sit for a few minutes in a Japanese Garden.Yesterday I wandered through an antique shop and learned what a dough trough and bread keeper were used for in 1700's France. I also came across an odd looking set of wooden trays whose purpose I just couldn't wrangle out. Then I learned they were molds for making balloons. Which was awesome, but also made me realize I've come all this way in life without knowing how balloons get made. Right at that moment I felt my world get just a little bigger, and that made me smile.Yesterday we played a game of Spades using a waterproof deck of cards. Before this week I didn't know there was such a thing as waterproof playing cards. It was fun, and also we won the game, so win win.Strange how a day filled with simple, seemingly inconsequential things, ended up feeling so full, so perfect, and so very meaningful. Or perhaps not so strange when you remember that all of life is just a moment—this moment … and this one … and this one.So take heart. Life can feel overwhelming but moments are rarely overwhelming, and in the end life is just this moment … and this one … and this one.Big plans or no plans I hope you can find some moments to enjoy today, and perhaps some friends to share them with. It's a good thing. And it's the best way I know how to build yourself a beautiful life.

A few years ago, when traveling anywhere was out of the question because of you-know-what, many homeowners thought of turning their own yards into destinations worthy of traveling to--and the staycation was born. My backyard was a blank slate full of weeds. I wanted a place outside that was worth traveling to, a yard that reminded me of places I'd been to and loved--Clear Lake, the working-class resort of my early childhood with its woods and hammock; Olympic National Forest; Glacier National Park; the Japanese Garden in San Francisco and Spokane; and finally, Children's Fairyland in Oakland and anything Alice in Wonderland. I'm too scrawny to dig a hole deeper than three inches, so I hired a landscaper to plant the trees I bought. In my usual getting-carried-away habit, I eventually ended up, in a medium sized backyard, with 2 redbud trees, 3 magnolias, 7 dogwoods, and 13 Japanese maples, all different. After they were planted, I told the trees, "You're on your own." I didn't want to have to actually work in my yard. I'm all for no-maintenance gardening here. The trees had to take care of themselves. It was a transactional relationship between me and my trees. I give them dirt; they give me beauty, shade, and supplemental oxygen. I wasn't going to fuss over them, water them, hug them--or prune them. I'm not a gardener. I'm a stay-at-home tourist.

Throughout April, support the Laurén Chalmers Beach Pantry by donating non-perishable food items to their college food drive. Donations are accepted at the College of Education, College of Health & Human Services and College of the Arts buildings. To recognize Earth Day, Cal State Long Beach has held an annual celebration called Green Generation Showcase for over ten years. On April 18 from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. at the Japanese Garden, environmental presentations will be given by local sustainable organizations, students, eco-friendly clubs and more. The event is free but an RSVP is recommended. April is Asian, Pacific Islander & Desi Heritage Month which CSULB celebrates by hosting events to spread community awareness. Today, April 15, is a Snack & Craft event in the CPaCE Courtyard from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. This week is Transgender Week of Joy at the Beach, which will be celebrated with a haircutting event called Haircuts and Buttons. Hosted this Wednesday from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. in the FO3 Courtyard, attendees can receive gender-affirming haircuts while enjoying music and making buttons. There are limited spots for this event and attendees are required to RSVP on the Events & Orgs app. Samuel Chacko, Managing Editor of the Daily Forty-Niner, joined Beach Weekly for this episode to discuss the multi-million dollar federal grant received by the Isabel Patterson Child Development Center. Last Monday morning, a partial solar eclipse called the Great North American Eclipse drew hundreds of people to the Central Quad where the Department of Physics and Astronomy handed out eclipse glasses. From our location on campus, only 49% of the sun's area was covered by the moon during this eclipse. A new FAFSA form was released this year in an effort to simplify the process and make it easier for students to fill out, but technical difficulties and hours-long waits for assistance have slowed down the procedure. California Assembly Bill 1887 has extended the FAFSA deadline from April 2 to May 2 after students and families have been experiencing extreme difficulties with the online form. On March 28, Beach Building Services broke ground on the new affordable dorm building called La Playa Hall near the existing Hillside dorms. The building will be 4,200 square feet, with 424 beds. The project will cost $115 million with $53 million being covered by the “Higher Education Student Housing Grant Program." Construction will begin in June and is expected to be completed by the summer of 2026. Arizona's Supreme Court has decided to uphold an abortion law from the 1860s that will outlaw most abortions in the state except in cases where the pregnant person's life is at risk. Half a million Arizona residents have already signed a petition that would put an abortion rights measure on this year's ballot. If passed, this measure would enshrine abortion rights as a permanent fixture within the state's constitution. A quick rise in temperature across Orenburg, Russia has caused snow and ice to melt substantially. Water pressure from this melt has caused a dam in the Ural River to burst which led to flooding across the region. According to Russia's RIA state news agency, 120,000 residents of the city and surrounding areas have had to evacuate as over 1,000 homes have been flooded.
