Long’s Urban Oasis
by Osman Parvez
—-
If you’re new to Boulder, you’ve probably wondered about Long’s Gardens – a patch of land visible from Broadway, just North of the North Boulder Rec Center. It’s a third generation Iris farm founded in 1905 with a long history in Boulder.
Check out this video:
From a real estate perspective, this patch of land is unique in Boulder. It’s the city’s only urban farm with 15+ acres of land being utilized by Long’s Garden, the Mountain Flower Dairy, and Growing Gardens.
I would like to see this land protected by a permanent conservation easement and continue as urban agriculture. Years ago, I was also a gardener on this land when I first moved to Boulder. This was my actual garden and I was neighbors with the Hmong gardeners who produced amazing amounts of produce for their family.
Full disclosure: I’m on the Board of Growing Gardens and serve as the organization’s Treasurer.

Testimonials
Osman was a refreshingly honest realtor. He stressed through the entire process that his goal was to make me happy with my home purchase. I greatly appreciated the fact that he never shied away from pointing out the negatives as well as the pluses of different places while leaving the final decision up to me.
We can highly recommend Sophie. Her attention to detail and communication skills are great. Our home was in area that most realtors are not familiar with, but Sophie took extra time to get to know the neighborhood in order to give us quality service. She also brought in a professional photographer to make our home look its best. Even though the listing was in winter, the house sold quickly. With Sophie’s business and people skills, we have no doubt she will be a top realtor in the area.
