Welcome to Long’s Gardens! We are a third generation, family owned and operated iris farm in the middle of Boulder, Colorado. We were founded in 1905 by J.D.Long. Today the business is carried on by Catherine Long Gates, grand-daughter of J.D., and her husband, Dennis Gates.

For more on our history, see About us. We specialize in bearded iris, which we sell both as dig it yourself and by mail order catalog. Operating an agricultural enterprise in the middle of a city makes for some interesting challenges, but also provides an opportunity for people to slow down, take a break, and relax (take a virtual tour at Beyond the Bloom). Come see and smell the iris and enjoy a bit of historical Boulder. We’re open to the public when the iris are in bloom, May through early June. We’re excited to be entering the 21st century (finally) with this new updated website. Please check back often for updates.

It's that time of year to satisfy your iris cravings. We are now open for the season through June 8, seven days a week from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM. Please check back here for the latest on the status of the bloom, or give us a call.
Rare Edition, one of the IBs available to dig, opened its first blossom this morning. There is a good selection of all classes of iris available in the digging field - come check them out. The listings on the website for all iris in the catalog are current for 2008.
