Catherine Long Gates is the third generation manager of Long’s Gardens, a horticultural business founded in Boulder in 1905. A Boulder native, she grew up on the family farm located just one mile from the heart of the city. Operating a farm in the city has provided lots of opportunities for “career development” from field laborer, retail clerk, and general handywoman to iris judge, water negotiator, and urban agriculture watchdog. Complimentary wine and cheese will be served.
