Nick Haus carries a small collection of perennials in the spring and fall, from diminutive plants to shrubs and trees, chosen for their tolerance to the salty Rhode Island coast. Much like the objects in Nick Haus Shop, the garden comprises a collection of plants selected for their relationship to this place & time. Where possible, Rhode Island natives are used, but more often combined with plants that originate in the American South. These are joined by companionate non-native species. Trees & shrubs are selected for their ability to survive climate change as it unfolds. Preference is given to plants that provide food or shelter to native birds, insects (particularly pollinators) & mammals. Nothing is coddled — past initial planting, we seldom water.
Nick Haus also consults with clients looking to create gardens that are more supportive to local wildlife by analyzing your site conditions and helping to plan an appropriate plant list. Call for more information about our current plant offerings and to discuss how your garden can better support the species that share our coastline.
The gardens at Nick Haus were featured as part of the Historic Warren House & Garden tour in 2017. A plant list of the Nick Haus gardens is available.
