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. Please check back often for updates.

The hot weather is bringing the bloom season to a rapid close. Our office & u-dig fields are no longer open regular hours, but we will be open by appointment through the rest of June. Please call or email to set up an appointment. You may also order plants for pick-up or shipment in July & August.

The listings for our New Introductions for 2013, as well as the Miniature Dwarf Bearded iris are now up to date. We hope to finalize the rest of the catalog listing soon, but feel free to order from the current listing as the changes should be minor.
