I love my garden, but I am very much a novice snd over the years I have wasted a lot of money. I have 6 raised beds and would like to make my garden a sensory palace. I am looking for ideas of what plants I need to put in that will keep growing each year. And give off a nice smell, have a beautiful feel or look.

Myrtle isn't reliably hardy, unfortunately. I would love to grow it, but attempts up here in the NE have ended in it being killed by the cold.

However, further south in a sheltered spot it would be lovely.

Thanks Maizie. The garden had a Meditteranean theme last night and I did wonder about some of the plants here in a colder UK climate. I'm going to try myrtle here in Devon.
