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.

The digging fields are now closed for the season and we are not maintaining regular office hours. You may still contact us by phone with any questions and we will be happy to call you back. We will start shipping orders the week of July 7.
Check out our mail order offerings and photos in the catalog section of this website. We have photos of all varieties for sale in 2008. We accept orders until August 1.
