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.

We are no longer accepting orders for 2008. We are busily transplanting our iris for next season. The newly planted iris are really enjoying the recent 2.5 inches of rain - our first real rain since June 4. Please check back next spring for our 2009 listings.
We are shipping the last of the existing 2008 orders. If you have questions about your order or if you have any other questions, please call, email or write us.
