Flower art!

In a corner niche of CSULB lies the Japanese Garden, home of a large koi fish community and the destination of many candle-lit wedding receptions. Despite the lack of visitations by students on-campus, it is still frequented by locals and tourists alike who enjoy a tea tasting ceremony or origami show.

One of the garden's annual fall events include its Chrysanthemum Show. The garden will open its doors this weekend to allow visitors the opportunity to view not only award-winning chrysanthemum flowers juried by the Chrysanthemum Society of Orange County, but also a plethora of artistic arrangements ranging from a variety of shapes, sizes and colors. Potted and cut blooms will also be available for purchase.


For more information, visit the garden's website or call 562/985-8885. Admission to the event is $7 for adults, $6 for seniors and $5 for Japanese Garden members. Children 12 and under will be admitted free of charge.
