Palatine's large, mature garden, with its varied collection of plants never ceases to surprise visitors. Conservation and wildlife area gardens with large and small ponds and bog garden. Sea garden oriental garden, dry gardens, Thinking garden, rockeries, Echium walk, labyrinth, mosaics, picnic areas and interesting tree collection.

Oak Grove College, The Boulevard , Worthing, opened on 31st October 2005.  All secondary  aged students from Palatine, Highdown and Heronsdale Schools now attend there. Developing the grounds from scratch has been a real challenge and very exciting.

In contrast to Palatine, Oak Grove College, opening for the first time for the N.G.S. is an example of a garden in the making, showing how much can be achieved in less than three years. Water wise gardens, large courtyard with seating area, water feature, sculptures and extensive planting, memorial gardens, spiral herb garden, large food growing area, poly tunnels, living willow and reclaimed woodland. Come and see for yourself.
