Nestled in the heart of Boulder, Colorado, Long’s Gardens is a cherished family-run iris farm established by J.D. Long in 1905. Today, his granddaughter Catherine Long Gates and her husband Dennis Gates lovingly continue the legacy. Specializing in exquisite bearded irises, our offerings include both self-dig options and convenient mail order catalogs. Situated amidst urban surroundings, our agricultural endeavor poses unique challenges, yet also presents a serene sanctuary where visitors can unwind and reconnect with nature (explore our virtual tour at Beyond the Bloom). Immerse yourself in the captivating sights and scents of our iris collection while soaking up the rich history of Boulder. Join us during the peak blooming season from May to early June, and be sure to stay tuned for the latest updates.
